Reminder about E-Cards
#1

Just a friendly reminder, especially to those who aren't so computer savvy...Do not open E-CARDS that do not specifically mention who they are from. Hallmark, Mamarocks,, etc., will ALWAYS have a recipient. I was reminded of this because I received two in the last 5 minutes. I knew immediately that they were fakes, but needed to share this with all of you.

 

Two dead give-aways:

 

No recipient

and

When you place (NOT CLICK - don't do that) your mouse over the link which states, 'Click here to see it' (or something of similar nature), it will show some bizarre web address.

 

I copied the email I just received so you could see it.

--------------

Hello!

 

You have recieved a Hallmark E-Card.

 

To see it, click here,

 

There's something special about that E-Card feeling. We invite you to make a friend's day and send one.

The click here to see it link leads to this site: http://csk-spzoz.waw.pl/~apteka/card.exe DO NOT CLICK ON THIS!!!!!

 

Notice it's an executable file! Danger, danger, Will Robinson!!! :nuts:

 

So always take your time and if it doesn't look right, throw it in the trash!!!

 

Make sure it always states a name and address you DO recognize, then it is okay.
