I would like to send a sympathy card to Hallmark. The reason is that they have built a business around e-greeting cards, which makes it easy to say something nice (we all need more of that).

However, spoofing their business model is the current modus operandi of many spammers. And many or most email users know this, too.

Which makes it difficult ot click on any attachment or link in an email.

With Valentines day approaching February 14, beware of these cards!



The message below is a phony e-card, with a virus payload.
