ProHipHop and Hip Hop Press Emails Being Spoofed

I'm getting some accusatory emails from people who refuse to give me any useful information regarding their claims that I'm sp@mming with my stock offers and so forth.  I don't issue stock.  And spoofing return email addresses is incredibly easy.  I'm not the problem and, so far, none of you are choosing to be part of the solution.

Please, if you want to stop sp@m, send me some information I can use.  See if you can identify the ip address of the email that's being sent to you and I'll start working on the problem.

If folks who actually know something about the topic could give me a hand, I'd appreciate it.  I don't need my brand destroyed by people who don't understand what's up with this junk.

UPDATE:
PROHIPHOP AND HIP HOP PRESS HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOLDMARK OR ANY INTEREST IN ESTABLISHING SUCH A RELATIONSHIP

DUE TO ADDITIONAL REVELATIONS UNCOVERED SINCE THE BELOW COMMENTS WERE MADE, I AM NO LONGER REPRINTING GOLDMARK PRESS RELEASES AND WILL BE FOLLOWING UP TODAY'S POSTS WITH AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE

I've now gotten two messages by people identifying their sp@m as touting Goldmark which I assume is a half-assed penny stock with no game and that's why you're seeing that particular kind of sp@m.  Whatever else is going on, don't buy Goldmark because it's most likely a pump and dump scheme.

[Disclaimer: I do not and cannot give investment advice, any and all such statements should be taken for educational purposes only.]

If you're getting such emails and can toss one or two in a folder in case that allows us to build antisp@m evidence, I would greatly appreciate it.  Guess I've finally found a worthy target for my obsessive/compulsive justice fetish!  And the government is finally getting serious about prosecution so, it may take years, but we can put these guys in jail and see what they think about that.

RELATED:
FeedBlitz recently found out that Aol.com email users have been unsubscribing from many of their newsletters using the Sp@m button rather than the easy unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.  Thanks for the "help"!
