click on any of the links or open it. I just verified with our tech guy that it is a scam because E-cards would have a website address instead of an IP address. Also, the sender has an e-mail address from the United Kingdom with an encrypted like name for a domain.

ANYWAY, I have received two of these this morning....here is the message....

I didn't open it to find out, but I did go to E-Cards.com and they have a message posted on their website about the impersonators using their name. It appears that it will either download spyware or possibly a virus.

Your welcome....when I got two of them, I knew I didn't have that many "family members" that wanted to send me greetings. It was a dead giveaway!;) :D
