Be careful with email greeting cards
Some people like to send special holiday greetings by email (sometimes called eCards). People like them because they are convenient and can include multi-media. Unfortunately, the spammers and scammers have usurped eCards so that you have to be very careful with them. As the PC Doctor says:
So why are eCards a bad idea? Well, it’s because the idea of eCards has been latched onto by scammers as a way of getting you to click on links and visit a website that could hold malware. And that’s the problem – how do you tell the difference between a legitimate eCard sent by your friend of family and one sent by a scammer? It’s tricky, which is why I recommend that people ignore all emails claiming to be eCards. There are too many scammers out there trying to get you to click on links or open attachments.
