Apple (AAPL) pump-and-dump spam

A pump and dump spam trying to move Apple (AAPL) stock? Really? I don't think a spam run is going to have much effect on a $473 share in a company worth $420bn.

Apple has presented its new models - iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C,
which actually have not moved the providers of financing. But, we
got to hear about the confidential novelty, which is created in
Cupertino (the Main Office of the Apple Company). This specialty
will be of interest for everyone. Through just a year, everybody
will utilize it. Namely now the time is ripe to acquire the
Apple's securities. Their value will be quick increased!!!

The new-developed models, i.e. iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, have
been recommended by the Apple Company. Nevertheless the
products have not impressed the business sponsors.
Nevertheless, we have learned about the secret new product,
which is being worked out in Cupertino, the Main Office of
the Apple Company, which will be required by a wide
audience. (It is going to be put in use by everybody duting
the course of only one year). Now it's about time to take
possession of the shareholding of Apple, because quite soon
they will go up in value!
A third sample adds the stock ticker symbol:

I'm thinking this is a meta-spam-scam. They are either trying to make AAPL look bad by spam-vertising it (so we think AAPL hired them), or they're hoping to build trust: after all, if they're recommending a big company like AAPL today, we're more likely to believe them when they recommend some small company tomorrow.
