The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 A lot of people, me included have received an email from www.greetingcard.org saying that you've been sent an e-card.... YOU HAVEN'T. The email has an .EXE file attached, which apparently contains a worm virus. I was sent this email, and luckily checked a scam webpage as I wasn't happy about opening an exe file.

clootie Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've just received that email - thankfully I've got a mac. It's my DH's birthday today so thought it was genuine. Thanks for the warning tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I went through a stage of getting loads of those but just deleted them as I didn't recognise the senders! Glad I did now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 You will also find they are addressed to 'Dear Friend' rather than your name.......who sends card to 'Dear Friend????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Glad I have a mac - even more glad I use googlemail online email though. Got this mail today... "The message "You've received A Hallmark E-Card!" from postcards @ hallmark . com contained a virus or a suspicious attachment. It was therefore not fetched from your account and has been left on the server." What a relief, I use work's macs as i have no puter at home. I'm sure they'd really thank me if i infected the whole network with a virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
