Black Stallion Oil & Gas $BLKG Promoted via online landing page

Over the last week Black Stallion Oil & Gas (BLKG) stock has gone from $1.70 to a high of $2.39 on modest (but increasing) volume. It has been promoted by emails from WallStreetReport.org, which also has a promotional video on their website and a positive report (PDF) on the stock. (I should add that they fail to disclose their compensation in that PDF report). See also the page you go to after leaving the video. Considering the relatively low-budget promotion and the large market cap I think it highly likely that BLKG will drop a lot in the next few days or weeks.

  1. Hi Michael, I am writing an article about how people fall for these new type of landing page scams and I would like to show readers how they are lead to these pages so they can avoid them but I have not been able to find where the advertisements occur.

    I was hoping you could tell me how you stumbled upon these landing pages and if you are aware of where they disseminate their advertisement through to scam investors.

    Thank you.

    1. They are advertised via email mostly. People get them either because they are on a stock promoters list or because they are on a stock related list that is rented to the promoters. For example if I have a good stock-related mailing list the promoters might pay me $10,000 to send one email promoting their stock and linking to the landing page.
