I received a 'warning email' and thought it was just the usual hoax stuff.however this appears to be a real threat-Take heed

I always check this stuff on snopes.com and here is what it comes up with

A tip, Most genuine ecard providers give the name of the sender
if it's not there don't go looking for the card!

I don't look at any of those cards unless I know the person very well and expected one.

Nearly all junk mail gets treated as such and binned without a second thought

Thanks for the warning though!
Never go a miss, I would rather get a false warning that none as it were

Good tip about the name of the person
