The is an e-mail going around that supposedly spreads a "malware" virus onto your computer. I don't know what the virus does, but if they are hiding it, it can't be up to any good.
So be on the look out if you get an e-mail saying that some one who you may know (they most likely won't use names. They will use something like "your partner") has sent you an e-card from egreetings with a link to test for you to look at it. The link will release the malware into your computer.
And it could be from any company, or no company listed, not just eGreetings. Yesterday, I got an e-mail from a spammer saying "My Father has sent you a card." No company listed.
How did I know it was spam (other than my wife being warned at work about the scam and warning me)? Well, Mr. Spammy Spammer. If my identity and my personal information is so valuable that you want to steal it, my internet browsing so unique you want to take a peek, or you hatred of me so great that you will try to scam me, do your research first and DON'T SEND ME AN E-MAIL SAYING MY FATHER WHO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 9 YEARS HAS SENT ME AN ELECTRONIC GREETING CARD!!!!!
I am gullible, but I know that there has not been any zombie sightings in the town where my dad is buried, and if they were, my dad was not up on either computers or giving out cards for any reason, let alone no reason.
Oh, and for causing me pain and suffering by sullying the memory of my dead father, Mr. Spammy Spammer? A pox upon you. Whether it be getting a flesh eating bacteria in your groin, simultaneous splinters under all of your finger and toenails at the same time, or being anally raped by a 800-lbs gorilla the next time you visit a zoo, KARMA WILL PAY YOU BACK.
I've been getting these on two email accounts. I got one entitled "school friend." You think if they were a friend of mine they would use their name. Sorry about your dad's passing. My mom passed away 23 years ago today, I somewhat know how you feel. But in this case, the memory of your father might have kept you from getting a nasty virus. : )
