The spam claims that King, the makers of the more-addictive-and-dangerous-than-crystal-meth Candy Crush game, are planning to buy a games development company called AppSwarm. The messages, which have a variety of subject lines inviting you to buy the stock before Christmas, have so far contained the same content: “Appswarm needs your attention. This is the only stock you need to buy today” The company is extremely undervalued and there are serious rumors circulating that the maker of Candy Crush (King, a multi billion dollar company) is about to buy it out for $1.17 per share.”]
