• If you have any suspicion that the email is fraudulent, do not open it and do not click on any links within the email. Legitimate emails will always give you the option to pick up the ecard by typing in https://www.123greetings.com and put in the 20 digit ecard number in the search box at the top right of the page, rather than clicking on the link. All 123Greetings.com emails provide this option.
• The sender of the ecard should always be identifiable, such as in the subject line of the email itself with the sender email address and in the body of the email with sender name as well as sender email address. If you do not recognize the sender, be cautious. Be especially cautious of more generic subject lines.
