real 'e' card, or spam/scam?

Ive recently started getting emails from

Easy-E-Card-Service@lBmBEkWB.com [URL="javascript:;"]clear.gif[/URL]

Ive googled it, and found nothing.
It says someone has sent me an 'e card' and to click a link to view it. Im not very teckkie, so I have no idea if this is a real site, or if by clicking the link I'll get my PC into a heap of trouble!

Any advice?:o

    Hit the nail on the head, certain way of downloading virus/malware.

    Don't click any link in an email.

    Just about the only exception that comes to mind is tracking info for something you've bought although there could be other reasons I guess such as something in a trusted newsletter.

    Thanks all,

    I was wondering if perhaps I had a secret admirer, but I guess thats how these things work, people are curious and click to see who its from!

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    On balance its more likely to be spam, it years since I had a wolf whistle from a building site, so the odds of having a secret admirer are very slim!
