Ecards

I am not sure if someone has noted this previously but thought a fair warning is due.

If you get sent a Ecard from someone you do not know do not click, do not open, its coming in many forms. One is a type of nigerian scam, one is a lottery scam and when you click they get to verify your email
and will undoubtedly hound you.

Unfortunately just a new version on an old scam.

Hope this saves someone!

I haven't got one of those e-cards yet or did and clicked it by accident. Now i get emails stating i won a million dollars and have to give personal information to someone from a weird country. These people have no life and are trying to get a sucker to do it.

Just remember to block that email address or report that email address to your webhost or internet provider. We need to get these people in trouble for sending these types of emails out.

That's a good reason to have an alternate email account for anything you sign up to; then you don't have to worry about your main email address being sold and getting spammed.
