Edit: After hearing further info, It doesn't matter if people report it or not. 
Companies are not going to allow some spam crapcoin on their networks, they would just make their own.  The whole thing is a scam to begin with.



Remember to start reporting the spam & virus coin, viral...

it doesn't matter if people report it or not,  you're delusional if you think companies are going to let you put your dumb spam coin on their networks.

They would just create their own.

Pump and dump spam

Pump and dump stock scams are prevalent in spam, accounting for about 15% of spam e-mail messages. A survey of 75,000 unsolicited emails sent between January 2004 and July 2005 concluded that spammers could make an average return of 4.29% by using this method, while recipients who act on the spam message typically lose close to 5.5% of their investment within two days.[13] A study by Böhme and Holz[14] shows a similar effect. Stocks targeted by spam are almost always penny stocks, selling for less than $5 per share, not traded on major exchanges, are thinly traded, and are difficult or impossible to sell short. Spammers acquire stock before sending the messages, and sell the day the message is sent.[15]

Pump and dump differs from many other forms of spam (such as advance fee fraud emails and lottery scam messages) in that it does not require the recipient to contact the spammer to collect supposed "winnings," or to transfer money from supposed bank accounts. This makes tracking the source of pump and dump spam difficult, and has also given rise to "minimalist" spam consisting of a small untraceable image file containing a picture of a stock symbol.

"the return of 'pump and dump' spam campaigns."

Those campaigns are designed to quickly focus investor attention on an obscure, thinly traded stock to create a sharp run-up in value. Typically, those scammers will buy the stock before sending the spam and then sell after the price pops, pocketing a quick profit.

And part of what's driving this surge in spam is scammers targeting people who are frustrated that they've missed out on the gains from the recent surging bull market. McAfee said it has spotted an increasing number of spam emails targeting would-be investors "hoping to capitalize on all time equity market highs." Also contributing to the surge: growth hormone offerings and increasing spam campaigns in emerging markets.

 a classic scheme to pump up the price of penny stocks, where shareholders of a very cheap stock try to inflate its price quickly through a massive email campaign. When the price jumps, they sell their shares at a huge profit and the stock price drops back to its normal value

 How Pump and Dump Works

Here's how it works. One or more "investors" buy shares of a very cheap stock on a public exchange. Usually, the stock is worth less than a dollar (hence the term "penny stocks").

Those shareholders then mount a huge PR blitz with "news" that the stock price is about to soar. These days it is common for the campaign to be done through email, since it is easy to send it to many people. We call this type of campaign "spam" because it appears to be unsolicited bulk email.

The senders are counting on enough people to buy the stock, sending its price up, and then sell their shares at a huge profit. The price usually then plummets back to its normal trading levels, leaving others who bought it while rising holding the bag.
