It’s that time of year again – people are sending their Christmas cards through the mail – and online. E-greetings are getting more popular each year and scammers find them convenient too. Here’s what to watch out for:
• Check the “From” line. If it’s something generic like “From a relative” or “From a friend” – don’t open it. Most people who send e-cards put their real name in there.
• Check the spelling. If your name or any portion of the greeting is misspelled – skip it.
• Check permissions. If the greeting asks you for permission to download something in order to see it – or take you to another site – DON’T DO IT.
