I've found, with the increased postage, that I've gone to postcards in many cases. But these can be fun to create and send. You even can make your own.

I'm with the others on this, hitting the delete button automatically on the flood of e-cards. You're right, it does look like spammers have successfully done in another mode of communication!

They once were, and still are, a nice way to send greetings, encouragement, thank you, etc. But spammers have gotten involved in these. Hi Yvonne,

Yes, what once was a nice way to send greetings has become one most people stay away from because of all the spamming. Thanks, too, for letting me know where you learned about my blog. I have fun writing my column for Absolute Write/Absolute Markets. Hi Chryselle,

Thanks for alerting us to this, Mary Emma. I never open an attachment from someone I don't know, just in case there's a virus, but this is a new one on me. Phishing is another black hat email strategy I get nervous about. I've often almost opened emails which mimicked my bank or pay pal email enough to look genuine. Luckily I didn't, as they then have some pretext requesting you to enter the account details, which is a red flag straight away. Is nothing safe from spam? Thanks for alerting us to this, Mary Emma.

I've been inundated with emails from familiar looking e-card websites informing me that 'You have received an e-card from a school mate!". Now, unless I see a familiar name in the subject or sender's list, I don't dare open the link. E-cards were fun at one time,but now they are pretty predictable. Give me good old postal mail any day! Found your blog through the latest Absolute Write newsletter. It's great! Chryselle http://writersblocindia.wordpress.com Very true.
