We received this e-mail at work from our IT guys, so I figured it's legit. And
with the holidays so close I know we are all getting e-cards, so I'm sending
this to everyone on my e-mail list.

Subject: Holiday E-Mail Scams
Hello,
It is that time of the year again folks and we are starting to see a lot of
e-mail scams coming into the system. Recently there have been several inquiries
concerning e-cards that may come in your e-mail. TREND, the antivirus software
used by the County, can detect and handle the virus.
Thinking that someone just remembered you and sent you a Hallmark greeting card?
Think again, before you open the email attachment. Today, we received a spam
allegedly from Hallmark. Trend Micro detects this malware as automatically
fixes the problem.
Also, it has recently been reported that bogus e-mail from FedEx and UPS have
been coming in about packages or money that you may be receiving that are virus
related.
Another virus to be on the alert for involves a message telling you that your
virus software has detected a virus and needs to be updated. Do not click on
this as the virus software within Human Services is updated automatically and
there is no need for you to intervene.
As good practice you should not open an e-mail unless you know who the sender
is. Be careful of these scams at work as well as at home.
