E-Cards

Is anyone else getting "e-cards" in your email that appear to be bogus? I've been getting them from (what appears to be) various legit services, but the url's aren't right, so I delete them. They say things such as "a classmate has sent you a card", etc. I think it's some sort of phishing.

I have programs on my box that would normally eat this before I even see it. Since I hardly ever accept email unless I know the person and have advance notice of any attachment,no worries for me.

Sass,I don't think you will see it with any webmail service as all 3 of mine have built in antivirus with their servers.
