Courtesy of Pumps & Dumps:  Having found their massive Pump & Dump on Amwest Imaging (AMWI) unexpectedly derailed earlier this month, the criminals behind AwesomePennyStocks.com and its sister promoters have taken on North Springs Resources (NSRS) as their latest scam.  And what a scam.
The company has a total asset value of $60,589 according to their last financials filed for October 31, 2011, including $16 in cash and mineral properties they value at $59,990.  That means that they feel that their mineral properties have no intrinsic mineral value whatsoever.  And yet, the stock current has a market cap of $300 million.  Seriously what is wrong with the public, the SEC and all of these criminally intended predators these days?
