· Quote

Hi there,

By any chance did any one here send me a Hallmark ecard to my pepperpot email?

I received two the other day and it just says "A friend has sent you" and the odd thing is that it has an attachment.

From what I know hallmark specifically ask for FULL name and with the free ecards it always has a clickable link to view the card.

I am not going to open it until I find out who sent it, because it looks pretty scary to me - lol Shocked

That doesn't sound right, Sam. Don't open it! If it doesn't say who it came from, delete it!

I agree Samantha, do not open it.  I thought you had to have a signature name on ecards.

I agree with all of you and I am not going to open it - lol

In fact, I deleted it!!! Plus so far no one I have ask has confirm it.

Jane, I usually use Hallmark for ecards and they ask for a bunch of information before you can actually send the ecard off - which I like - plus its not in a form as an attachment, its a link (well at least the free one Rolling Eyes ) - Hallmark has so many services you never know

But signature I have never seen... what do you mean by signature?

Usually you have to have some sort of name. You would know who it was from even if they did not sign the card.

I haven't sent any in a while Samantha. I usually send them from American Greetings I paid  for a year. They always give the name of the sender. I have used Hallmark too but they give the names too. I would delete it too. Is if close to your birthday or something special?

lol...just trying to let my brain remember these dates so I don't forget to send cards....

Hey Sandra... nice to see you!!!

Sheila, I am just 5 days before you Wink


Thanks ladies... I did not open it but I received another one this week - its a postcard in a form of an attachment - this time I am going to send it to Hallmark for them to investigate.

For some reason it feels like it comes from them (Hallmark), but it just says "A friend" - not "your friends from Hallmark" ... either way I would not open anything that is an attachment from no one I know Evil or Very Mad

I will post back on the follow up

Thanks Jane

Indeed very interesting.

Even Hallmark can't be safe!

Well I did send a forward of the unopened email to abuse@hallmark.com for them to do a follow-up - plus I also reported it to hotmail.com.

Lucky thing I don't like to open any forwards or emails from strange people  Rolling Eyes
