On November 30th I received promotion emails from info@bedfordreport.com, info@paragonreport.com, and info@fivestarequities.com promoting Makism 3D Corp (MDDD). All three websites are owned / run by the same promoters. They do some email-only stock promotions but they also do some promotions that are larger in concert with hard mailers. They promoted ARTH back in July and ECAU back in March. This morning in their emails they gave links to the online landing page http://techpickreport.com/
