E-Greetings Scammers
September 22nd, 2007 — CyberCatOkay, this one just raises the hairs along the back of my neck and says “No! Don’t Click That!” It looks innocent enough, but I’m not about to get snared by them morons.
Subject: Hey, you have a new Greeting !!!

==================
In posting this here, I have replaced their link (which goes to a virus download) with the link to the Hallmark.com information on this e-card scam.
DO NOT click on any greeting cards you are not expecting, and particularly not on one that just says “from a friend” or something similar.
Hallmark.com says in part:
“A fraudulent e-mail flooding the Internet claims to have a link to an E-Card from a family member, friend or neighbor and uses major greeting card company names such as Hallmark. Clicking on the link downloads a virus onto your computer that compromises personal data.”
