So is this a genuine company trying to drum up interest and if so why so many spelling mistakes? I know that the 'medical' spam use slightly altered spelling to try and avoid spam filters but the words misspelled here are not the obvious ones.
Or is it totally bogus and just trying to seek out valid email addresses?

they may get money for the hits and people that buy from certain brokers. I get them all the time with "hot stock tips". It probably ends up asking you to subscribe to some online service. They tips are usually pink sheet stocks or otherwise known as penny stocks. advice: Don't

Penny-Stock Spam Yields Profits -- for Some

All Things Considered, August 25, 2006 · A new study suggests that spam e-mails advertising penny stocks can have a real effect on the stock market. And someone is making good money as a result -- though it's not usually the recipients of the spam. When people respond to the e-mail by buying the advertised stock, it can bump up the price of the stock.

That's when spammers -- who bought the stock before they sent the email -- sell. Robert Siegel talks with Laura Frieder of Purdue University about her study.
