Ah yes, the Nigeria 419 scams.

Another one that comes to mind is the “Greeting Cards Scam”. The bogus greeting cards try to trick you into downloading viruses. There have recently been several reports of these scams pretending to be from the legitimate - and quite harmless - Bluemountain Greeting Cards site.

So how can we tell whether or not the e-card is legit?

Oh God , how come I forgot Canadian Pharmacy.

If you have Anti virus installed on your PC, it 'll block the link and alert you else if you keep on receiving the same e-card email from them everyday then you do know never to click it again. Most of the time such emails stay in the Junk folder.

The only reason I thought it was hacked was coz it came with my LEGAL name…not the name on the e-mail!!!

Did you take any action then? Changed the password , emailed them in reply to check them out or checked if it is possible to send them an email?
