Many of you may have seen an email today with the subject line of “Welcome to the Zacks Elite” which referenced the stock PXLW. Unfortunately this is not a legitimate email communication or solicitation from Zacks Investment Research, Inc. or Zacks.com or any other Zacks entity. It is, rather, a form of a “phishing” email as well as a fraudulent attempt to induce you to purchase the stock referenced in the original email you received.   It's important to note that this fraudulent email does NOT represent any breach of ANY of Zacks systems, servers or databases. The spammers only used our brand and replica of email format to make their message seem legitimate as is too often done with other well known brands such as eBay, Amazon and Citibank.     We are extremely sensitive to spamming and it is not a business practice of ours. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may have caused you. Rest assured that Zacks Investment Research and Zacks.com will always respect your privacy and will continue to provide the highest quality stock research and commentary available.   To see this unauthorized email go to http://www.zacks.com/unauthorizedemail/   Best,   Charles Rotblut, CFA Senior Market Analyst and Editor, Zacks Investment Research
