cannot shake these....

Any thoughts on how to report this to get it stopped?

When I click the link, I get "Sorry, you are not authorized to view this

I think you intended to post the official tracker, not the URL that
appears in your browser after you submit?

Stock spams are pretty tough to stop altogether. I have a combination of
my ISP's anti-spam, SpamPal and Thunderbird's filters and a handful of
these spams get through every week.

I think of them as Zombie-locating spams :-) and report them to SC.

The sare_stocks SA rule-set nabs about 95% of these stock spams.

There is no way to stop spam sent to your eMail address by reporting it.
Reporting spam may result in the sender IP being listed in one or more
BL(s). Then if your ISP uses BLs to filter spam you will see it in a spam
folder. To stop spam from being sent to your eMail address, get a new email
address that is not prone to dictionary attacks, and treat it like your bank
account information or the new address will get on spammer lists. Then use
disposable addresses such as sneakemail when surfing and signing up for
stuff.

As far as I can work out from reading articles on spamcop and other sites
this construction of spam is made to avoid spam traps and filters.I have
joined spamcop to report these spams and recommend that everyone else should
do so, they are sent from multiple Isp,s and need to be stopped as they
cause all sorts of problems especially if you have no concept of what to do
with them. We all need the power of Spamcops and authorities to bring down
the spammers.
