Good tip!!

The legitimate greeting card type sites will always give a name of the
sender.  And if you still don't know who it is, get rid of it!!

A decent rule is, If you are even a tiny bit suspicious, get rid of it, as
in never open it.

> I received a couple of messages today from postcards.com.  They say that
"a family member has sent you a greeting, click here".  I was checking my
messages through webmail and not Outlook so I thought it might be safe to
open the message.  In the message I realized that if I clicked on the link
to download the greeting, it would try to save a .exe file to my hard drive.
While I was pondering how to safely exit out of the browser window, Norton
pops up and tells me that it just intercepted a virus being saved to my hard
drive.  So be on the lookout for messages like this.
