It's when they inflate a stocks price by getting people to buy it, then they sell the stock and it becomes worthless, all of the investors lose their money.

They are rare for me, that's only the third or forth I've ever got.

I usually get the ones about my nigerian uncle that has died and wants to give me millions of dollars.laugh
