American Greetings
The crooks use a website called AmericanGreetingsC.org or AmericanGreetingsC.net. I have not clicked the link, as I don't want to be infected with some awful virus. But let's say that the domain is registered in Guyana and the e-mail address to write to is in Latvia.
Doesn't sound like a reputable company called American Greetings.
I've also had 118 greetings from Hong Kong.
Ignore all these very tedious and stupid people.

We seem to be on the same spam list. I received the same this morning. The link in the email is quite sly, reading it looks legitimate until you mouse over the link.
As I was expecting an e-card, I foolishly opened the email and it asked me to download an updated version of Macromedia. On doing this, it froze my PC, sending it into a vicious circle of restarting but never quite finishing start up before restarting again. Only managed to rescue it as we had set a system restore point two days ago.
I nearly fell for this one but Googled it and read your comment and the ones above before clicking on the link (which I thought might be from my sis-in-law in the US). Many thanks! Brian H
Sorry about your trouble, Anonymous.
You did the right thing to post, as if one other person is saved from these crooks, you've done well.
