Urban Legends Reference Pages: 'Postcard from a Family Member' virus

Urban Legends Reference Pages: A [Virtual] Card for You Virus
Thanks

The warning email is pretty much as the 2nd link (including the link to snopes site) but warns of a title exactly as in the 1st (real virus) link. Bizarre.
There is a real virus where you receive and email about a postcard but a hoax warning about it. WTF?
I'm just not collecting any virtual postcards. Seems best

Thanks guys
