You've Received an Email Greeting: NOT!

In case you haven't heard yet, there is a virus being spread around the Internet in phony e-card spam. I have received several e-card notifications in both my work and personal email, one of them supposedly from bluemountain.com (a reputable e-card website). So don't open any e-cards!
Here are some of the subject lines:

  • You've received a greeting card from a school-mate!
  • You've received a greeting ecard from a class mate!
  • You've received a greeting ecard from a neighbour!
  • You've received a greeting postcard from a partner!
  • You've received a greeting postcard from a worshipper!
  • You've received a postcard from a family member!
  • You've received a postcard from a neighbour!
  • You've received a postcard from a worshipper!
  • You've received an ecard from a colleague!
