I hope it is okay to post this here. In the past week I have been getting these e-mails, I have NOT opened any one of them, as I knew they had to be some sort of scam. It really bothers me because I am VERY careful about what I enter as I do not want to receive tons of spam. Anyway, I don't know how they got my e-mail, all I can think of is it was from a sweeps entry because that is what I use this e-mail addy for, but again, I am as careful as can be to only enter legit ones and I don't enter a lot compared to what some sweepers enter. The subject lines are something like these: (I have put in bold the ones I have received so far)

As I said, I knew it had to be some sort of scam so I have reported each one as "spam" and deleted immediately. I just looked it up online and found this, (which is how I found the list above) I hope it is okay to post a link about it:
http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2007/06/29/w32nuwarmm-its-raining-postcards/They show up in my e-mail as coming from e-card places I have heard of: hallmark.com, 123greetings.com, and these I had not heard of: dgreetings.com, riversongs.com. If you look them up they are legit sites, but of course these e-mails are not coming from legit sites.
I just wanted to warn others, as I said, I think they had to come from entering a sweeps as I can't figure out how else this e-mail addy of mine got out there, but however it happened just wanted to pass on the warning that's it is BAD!
