E Greetings.com

[Tom 1960]

I just wanted to give you guys a headsup. Some idiot claiming to be a 'family member' just sent me an email from egreetings.com. I went to open the attachment and my Anti Virus software program went off detecting a virus. I was able to delete it before it caused any damage. If you receive an email, the best bet would be delete it immediately. I don't know who the frig would do this, but I'm not happy.

Tom --

On my email client (Eudora), the actual link is listed at the bottom when I move my cursor over it. The actual link isn't always the same as that listed in the email message. So when I got a similar message about "e greetings.com", I checked the link and it was clear that this was coming from a shady address.

A lesson learned, Guy. I guess with this being the holiday season, we all should be aware for the potential for this type of nonsense. I'm just releaved it didn't cause any damage.

The "From" field in emails can easily be faked, so this probably does not come from www.egreetings.com

Just like this wave of illegitimate greeting cards spreading a virus:
