BEWARE: You may NOT have received a Postcard or Greeting Card from a family member or neighbor!

There has been a wave of malicious spam disguised as announcements of electronic postcards and greeting cards from friends and relatives.

They look like this:

Subject: You've received a postcard from a Neighbour!

Hi. Neighbour has sent you a postcard.
See your card as often as you wish during the next 15 days.

SEEING YOUR CARD

If your email software creates links to Web pages, click on your
card's direct www address below while you are connected to the Internet:

http://nasty_address_goes_here

Or copy and paste it into your browser's "Location" box (where Internet
addresses go).

We hope you enjoy your awesome card.

Wishing you the best,
Mail Delivery System,
GreetingCards.Com

DRAG THEM TO THE TRASH!

Clicking on the link (or otherwise navigating to the URL provided) will surely install a malicious program on your computer.
