E Card Explosion

 

I'm getting loads of these which all have the same format.

Good day.

Your school friend has sent you a greeting postcard from 2000greetings.com.

Send free ecards from 2000greetings.com with your choice of colors, words and music.

Your ecard will be available with us for the next 30 days. If you wish to keep the ecard longer, you may save it on your computer or take a print.

To view your ecard, choose from any of the following options:

--------
OPTION 2
--------

Copy & paste the ecard number in the "View Your Card" box at http://189.19.78.226/

Your ecard number is
92ded5e559ae0855a16e2a14205cd1712445ec8

Best wishes,

2000greetings.com

They all have the same features :-

1. IP addresses instead of URLs. That's dodgy in it's own right.

2. A title like "You've received a greeting postcard from a school friend!"

3. They always give you two options.

I've had reports that they install some malacious software on your computer.

So don't click on any of those links.
