Someone I know invited me to a party via an online eCard..

“Click on this link to view invitation.”

When I click the link I get this screen, asking me to log in via my email address and my email password. In other words to view the invitation I provide my email address AND my login information.

Yea not going to happen.



I find a link for Help, inform the company I would like to see the invitation without providing personal information. They then proceed to send me the SAME link which requires my email address and password. To make things even more ridiculous they then send a survey “How did our company do in resolving your problem?”

I cannot imagine any sensible person would provide their email address and password to view a party invitation.

Am I all by myself on this one?
