I got a couple, but it has bad english in the writting, and this is coming from a company who creates and sends out cards, not an individual - clue #1, and clue #2 is that it is from an unknown person.

I must admit that they are creative people though. I think most adults would catch something like this, but children with access might be a different story.

In the case of my friend the e-mail was sent "automatically" by a "worm", so it came to him from a real address of a real individual that was a real friend of my friend, thus why he fell for it. So be carefull even with cards from known people. It may have been the work of a worm.

Received a fee of these recently, figured that's what they were. Thanks for the confirmation though.

I get about 10 of these a day...

I simply do not open them because even if a friend or family member did send one, I think it rather cheap that they couldn't take the time to actually mail me the card. I don't know but something about actually writing your name and affixing a stamp says 'thinking of you' more than clicking send while in the middle of a morning yawn...
