Scams Galore! New e-mails about MONARCHY RESOURCES

I got this e-mail a week or so ago about MONARCHY RESOURCES. I always give special attention to e-mails with things in all caps. I always think "ooh - hey - they took the extra pixels to put that in ALL CAPS it must be important!

Anyway - here is e-mail 1, from david@cpchc.com to an e-mail address that I didn't even know I had.  My work e-mail is in the format 419.er@thecompanyiworkfor.com.  This came to 419.er@gapps.thecompanyiworkfor.com.  I assume gapps is something to so with Google, who is our e-mail provider, but who knows.

 Do I need to bother telling you that these are scams?  Or that I didn't invest?  What's particularly funny is that this is an actual stock.  These e-mails came in on Saturday the 17th.  The stock closed at 40 cents on the 15th and 20 cents on the 16th - and this e-mail came on the 17th telling me to buy on Monday the 19th and pocket $23k by Thursday.  Well Monday the 19th, the stock opened at 23 cents, and volume was hundreds of times what it normally is - so a lot of people fell for this scam - and probably lost a ton of money.  Check this out
