Kinda OT: Hallmark e-card

[jltwdw]

I've received several notifications over the last couple weeks that I have an e-card from 'a friend' for viewing. I've deleted them for days thinking they were some sort of scam and didn't want to get sucked into it...but they just keep coming. I've received these before and successfully opened them up because they've listed the name of a person I knew. Just not sure what to do with these 'friend' e-cards. Is it the policy of Hallmark to just keep sending a reminder if it is not opened? I'm just really curious who my mysterious 'friend' is! Could it be that our political candidates have resorted to e-cards stumping for votes???

DON'T OPEN IT! Check snopes.com. I have heard that these emails are viruses.

I have a friend who sends ecards all the time. She doesn't use Hallmark, but I do get repeated emails until I open the card.

If it's really bugging you, go by the library and open it on their computer. They probably have excellent virus protection.
