Pump and Dump: PSIV

I have no prior instances of this stock in my spam corpus here, and a brief search didn't turn up any instances on the web. Due to the fact that the stock is sub-dollar and trades on the Pink Sheets, this is probably a standard case of pump and dump. Only one instance of the spam has arrived so far, received from 220.176.94.43 on Sun, 24 Jul 2005 05:24:00 -0000. This particular spam uses random excerpts from current news stories as filter-buster, and I'll include that part of the text for reference purposes.
