    Do you know if your e-mail address is listed anywhere that people/businesses who are trolling for e-mail addresses could collect them, then use them as mailing lists for spam?

    I've received several "You have a Secret Admirer" e-mails that supposedly link directly to an e-card. My e-mail address was used as the "sender" address too, and I've also had some that said "The e-card you sent has been viewed" (huh? when did I send an e-card??). The other thing, sometimes your e-mail address can be harvested by the website when you go to open the card that was sent. It's a sneaky way of determining which e-mail addresses they send to are active, so they can send you more e-junk mail. We all may be getting more spam in the days to come! LOL

    Could be just spam, in which case, I wouldn't even bother opening it. But just to be on the safe side, see what the e-card site has to say about it.

    Love, Scully

    Any secret admirer is potential trouble. What are you prepared to do about it?

    Hoo.... that's weird!

    Block the e-mails, now. Get rid of whomever it is ASAP. People just love to screw with other people on the internet, so don't get too worried. But, do take immediate action. Could be creepy1
