I, TOO RECEIVED AN EMAIL SAYING I HAD A BIRTHDAY CARD FROM (EMAIL ADDRESS OF MY BROTHER) ON MY REAL BIRTHDAY. THE LINK IT SAYS TO CLICK ON IS NOT CLICKABLE, AND WHEN COPYING AND PASTING, THE MESSAGE SAYS THERE ARE “NO RESULTS”, AND JUST GIVES THE REGULAR LIST OF “123GREETINGS.COM”. THE CARD CANNOT BE PULLED UP WITH THE NUMBERS IT ASKS FOR, SO I ASSUME IT IS THE SCAM….I DID NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, SO, DO YOU THINK I SHOULD BE SAFE?

THANKS….. If you haven’t opened any files, followed any links or given them any information, you should be fine, but do a virus check nonetheless. BM

Nice catch. Whats the remedy? As I see 123G has already imposed a “Ecard View Limit Exceeded” message.
