http://live.pirillo.com/ - QBack in the early days of the Internet getting a greeting card via e-mail used to be a cool event; but, in recent years, greeting card spam has become very prevalent, especially during a holiday season.
How can you identify these messages?
- It use a generic name instead of your real name
- It asks you to visit a website that you've never heard of
- It tells you that you need to download some custom software
- It asks for your bank or credit card information
- It doesn't list who the card came from
- It lists one of your friends' names, but your friend did not send the card
Do you have any advice on avoiding getting scammed?
