Not necessarily fake, just worded badly.

A couple of months ago I got a spoofed email claiming to be from Hallmark, and apparently I had received a downloadable e-card. The download link was from a site other than the Halmark site, but the links labeled "FAQ, About Us, Support, Contact, etc." lead to the Hallmark site. It was very believable if you didn't check the e-card link.

I immediately marked it as spam and deleted it.

I doubt that is real but I am always on the look out for possible infections.

Cool cool. I hope this is real. I hope i get it.
Copy the email to another drive then test out its worth. If i loose c who cares.
I will just reinstall and then have a deeper look at the virus.
I have crap loads of virus stored on a spare harddrive actually.
If anyone actually gets this then please let me know Smile

I've seen this e-mail before, last year infact.. It's pretty old.. I'm kind of suprised that it hasn't actually died out yet.

If its good enough, people just rip the source code and port their own version!

I like looking at the source code for viruses aswell, its interesting how some people code them, and try to keep the virus under the radar!
