This is a rant about spammers.
I just received an email claiming that I have "received a Hallmark E-Card!"
Several clues indicate something is wrong.
1. There is no name for the person sending it.
2. It invites you to click on a link to see the card
3. The link is to a site with an IP address (string of numbers) and not a name. It should point to "hallmark.com " as that is what the email address says.
4. Firefox thinks it is an email scam and warns you.
5. I have no friends so no one will be sending me a e-card (actually not true for me or anyone else)!
The other links in the email point to Hallmark but I bet the link will bring up a nice picture of some pills. How many people click on the links in their email without checking where they are actually pointing to?
