Anyone else getting 14 million "here is your E-Card" spam?
 
Am getting deluged by frigging spammers, most of them saying "here is your E-Card from so and so" and they all contain a virus or trojan horse.

Must worse this week than usual I have to say... Anyone else getting these?

That's a weird thing to post about...since I can't relate.

Joeaksa 06-04-2010 07:32 PM

Well, if you cannot relate, then why post? :)

I run several forums and bulletin boards, so my email addy is too well known. All of them are coming from "123greetingcards.com" or the like and the last three days have to have seen 100 of them or more.

Just got rid of the antispyware soft thing (I hope) and when i opened my E-Mail
acct. there were over 2000 failed E-mail attempts.
I'm begining to hate these GD computers!

I received around 35 of the E-Card spams yesterday. I thought I was able to block it last night but had another one this morning so am not sure if the block worked or if they changed something. I blocked ecards@123greetings.com

Jack,

Good idea and let me add that one to my filters.

Just got three of them this morning alone...

Joe,

Either the block is working or they have given up and moved on ??
I hope the block works for your sites as this is really annoying to say the least.

Jack,

Blocked them on one account but having to figure out how to block them on my other main account.

Its partially working so thanks for the reminder!

Joe

PS Toast one in the direction of Padre sometime for me! I grew up on the North end for 3 years as a kid. Right next door to the old Jones Drug store if its still there...
