Posted by admin on Sep 13, 2009 in Warnings | 0 comments

OK Guys these dumb people are at it again. So if you receive an email titled anything about and stated like these: [from field] Animated Cards. With the title about anything like this: You have received an Ecard. [ID:143657] or anything to that matter with a message like this below WARNING.. DO NOT CLICK OR GO TO THE BELOW LINK WHAT SO EVER.

Hi! You have received a personal cyber-greeting. To check out what you have been sent from a friend, choose from any of the following options: Click on the following link (or copy & paste in your browser): Link-ID8269: http://alturl.com/nvo6 Once downloaded, you will be able to see your special personal message. The link is valid for the next 30 days, until it is automatically deleted. Please be sure to view your eCard before the days are up! We hope you enjoy your requested cyber-greeting from a friend. Thank You!

Do not open it nor go to the link to read the card as it is a virus and will infect your system as soon as it is opened. Not even downloaded all though it will bring you write to the page and a download menu option will prompt you to download/install it or save it. To view the card or use there card system to read your card and/or to send your own cards. It's all false. Luckily my systems and safety software blocked it before it could even do anything also before it was even downloaded. So hopefully you all have good safety software and it will block it to begin with before it is even on your computer as i said as it tried even before it was downloaded as the save dialog box come up. So it seems to be most likely 2 set's if not more of spyware / virus's. Do not do anything with it. Send it in to your email company along with full email headers so they can trace the persons message ID and IP address. You can report it as spam but that will not do much good in this matter. Send it in a phishing scam and or also straight to your support system for whatever email company you use so they can handle this and put a real true stop to it the right way. Most of the time i know better which i did in this case also but i obviously know what i am doing and opened it on purpose to see what it was all about and to investigate it to be able to put a full warning out about it.
