Nasty promotion methods: using fake broker mailbox

I just received the following email and it seems Forex marketing artists are stepping up in their quest to appear legit. The email arrived from one 'Troy Weston', a fake name no doubt, and apparently was mailed by @forex.com address. I just confirmed with Gain that it of course wasn't them who sent this mail, nor does it even appears to be half legit. This reminds me of all kind Phishing 'paypal' and 'bank of america' which I get now and then attempting to fraud clients. This seems to be a similar case.

Traders beware.

Dear Trader

FAM Drone has been tested thoroughly for years and finally has launched. The results are remarkable. The product is more efficient than other Forex EA's out there. See for yourself:

htttp://www.FAMDrone.com/

Copies are flying fast and the EA is making money. FAM Drone is definitely a great deal with awesome support and profitable bot. This bot is focusing on long term effect rather than the short term fast gain that never happens.
