Oh, spammers

For the last week or so, I've been getting these notifications about some "greeting ecard" or other that someone's supposedly sent me, each one purportedly from a different internet greeting cards site--Hallmark, 123Greetings, etc.--and each one quite properly deposited by Yahoo into my Bulk Mail folder because none of them is from any of those sites at all. Naturally, I look at the links and laugh at them without ever, ever considering going to the sites to get whatever advertising or Trojan horse they want to dump on me.

Anyway, each "greeting ecard" can be from a different kind of person: I've gotten notices that "a relative" has sent me a card, "a friend," "a coworker." This morning, though, the spammers/tricksters/fraudsters have outdone themselves with this:

"You've received a greeting ecard from a Worshipper!"

I'd really like to know the name of my Worshipper.
