To Whom It May Concern:

I visited your Web page today for the first time: http://www.ftc.gov/phishing

Now roaches are hijacking the powerful emotional pull of ecards to lure their victims. I have received many variations of the enclosed -- all with wicked Web servers hosted at different IP addresses.

I appreciate the value of the FTC ecard, but I hope it gets updated to help innocent victims resist this new insidious invasion.

Sincerely,

Tim Chambers
