E-mail Postcards & Viruses
There have recently been heightened warnings about virus containing E-mails with attachments containing the word “POSTCARD”. Sending out phony e-card/postcards is an effective way of camouflaging viruses and inducing unwitting recipients into clicking links that install malicious programs onto their computer. Please be sure of the sender before you open any postcard E-mails with attachments. For more information regarding fake internet postcards, visit snopes.com and Symantec

Hello Toronto … I found you whilst surfing the net on postcard sites. I’ve been turning out our old family home after my father died, & have found 6 old postcards of Toronto. None of them have been posted, 3 of them have a short message on the back & 3 of them have the publisher’s names as follows:- W J GAGE & CO LTD, TORONTO MADE IN GERMANY No 1791 and THE CHAS J MITCHELL CO LIMITED, TORONTO and WARWICK BRO’S & RUTLER LIMITED, PUBLISHERS, TORONTO 1723 They would date from circa 1905 & belonged to my grandma who was an avid postcard collector at the turn of the century. There is one black & white, MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS, TORONTO. The remainder are coloured, ON HUMBER RIVER, TORONTO, CAN. – TORONTO, TRINITY UNIVERSITY (Galbraith Photo Co) – PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS, TORONTO – JARVIS STREET, TORONTO – YONGE STREET (Looking North from King St) TORONTO.
I am looking to sell them, either together or separately, & wondered if any of your members would be interested. I can e-mail pix if you would like. I am a member of the Plymouth Postcard Collectors Club.
Sincerely
Mary Traynor
