beware Hallmark postcards

[ruth900]

Hi Guys, over the past 3 days I've received lots of messages saying I have an e-postcard from Hallmark from a friend. It's sent as an attatchment, not the normal link that you get in Hallmark e-card notifications.
I tried opening a couple of the "postcards" but my software said there was a virus so didn't open it. I'm now just deleting them as they arrive but thought I'd mention it here in case others receive them and their software doesn't detect the virus.

I had one attached to a suppliers name I am registered to. Made it look like a birthday e-card but as with yours when I tried to open it it had a virus.
They are getting sneaky!!
