E-card Spam Trojan

[Upcountry]

Hi folks,

Watch out for a new spam trend, that masquerades as one of those services that people use to send "virtual cards". If you open the email, you are given a link to follow. You might note that the IP address is not the same as the name of the virtual card outfit mentioned.

I recommend passing this on to friends that you think may fall victim to this, thinking that they've received an on-line card from a friend. Obviously this is an attempt to take advantage of people who trust such emails. It's sad.

Got 2 today on my yahoo email (in Bulk folder). Deleted 'em in a blink of the eye (before I read this thread).
