Then there's this twist on the Pump N Dump:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a0tTA2Ko30As&refer=us

"In one ``pump-and-dump'' scheme the SEC uncovered, thieves used
customers' money to drive up the prices of little-traded stocks and then
sold shares they bought earlier at a profit."

"The online version of the ``pump-and-dump'' fraud sets off few
security alerts at brokerage firms because no money is withdrawn from the
compromised accounts, Walsh explained."
