I have also purchased a considerable amount of stock from Fire Mountain and am currently paying both of my mortgages and car payments with the proceeds. You need not worry about these guys, they are solid as a rock. Weenis.
I have gotten 30 or so faxes from this number about stocks of some beverage company. I called back numerous times, followed the removal instructions but every times the line goes dead before I can finish...
I also have received over 20 faxes from this company. I checked out the stock watch website and they say that its not coming from them. I made a complaint to the FCC online. Here is the link to that site:
It is unlikely that the company has anything to do with the unsolicited faxing and or the promotion of the stock. There are numerous "Back Room" operations that prey on small corporations with "Penny Stock." And look for ways to reach GREEDY investors, looking for that big return!
They will go in and buy a block of the stock, which then would show up on the charts that there is a sudden reason for activity, it might even correspond to an actual event like the small company announcing a big new contract or expansion of the building. They then use this as a reason to "HYPE" the stock via any means possible-hence, the unsolicited stock. What they get is a sudden run-up of the stock value and that creates more of a feeding frenzy as people buy into the hype. The "Back Room" will suddenly sell the stock amidst all of the buying activity and run away taking their profit. If they can buy $200,000 worth of stock at 1.7 cents a share and run it up to 3.4 (Double) in a couple of days then dump it they have made a nice tidy $200,000. But they want you to hold on to see that promised "Long term target of $0.25" They are hopping you are a greedy investor...but the "Back Room" guys will be long gone.
The poor company is left holding the bag as their stock then dives as the bloom wears off the rose when the rest of the investors sell quickly to limit their losses. Not only have they got a PR problem with the new stockholders, they could also be facing financial ruin or bankruptcy soon.
As in this case, the "Back Room" folks do everything they can to mask their identity. It is interesting to see them mask the phone number of the FAX to make it appear to be a legit number of the company. I know I can set the header and phone number of my FAX machine to anything I want. I dont know if that is the number that is also reported to me on the call received report or not, or if my machine uses an actual caller ID number, which I can also set to block from my FAX when I make the call. And, as far as them being the source, I believe under SEC rules they would actually be in BIG trouble if they were actually the ones hyping their stock in this manner. But, no doubt the FAX is always "busy." If I were Fire Mtn Beverage, I would take my FAX off the hook, too, so I wouldn't keep getting angry messages faxed to me to cease sending FAXES.
