Bogus E-Card email

Hey I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about bogus e-card emails. I have been receiving emails lately that say "You've received a greeting postcard from a school-mate!" or "You've received a greeting postcard from a friend!" in the subject line. Do not click on the link in these emails! I know some of them say Hallmark.Com, but if you look at the link it will have an IP address like this one http://222.119.120.109/ or similar number. These are bogus and should just be deleted from your email! If you get a real e-card it will say who it came from and most likely be from Yahooo or similar company.

Here is a screenshot of the bogus email (notice how Thunderbird said it might be a scam)

And here is a real one from Hallmark.

Just a heads up!!!
