Interactive Free Christmas online eCard from JibJab

Sending free Christmas online ecards is fast and easy. However, as with many things online, exercise a little caution when it comes to giving out any personal information to avoid scams.

Online greeting cards, commonly called ecards, have grown in popularity for a variety of reason. The fact that the free eacrds at Christmas time and New Years are an easy and fast way to send a greeting or share a laugh, are the biggest drivers in the popularity.

Recently, there have been some reports of online scammers using this popularity for free online ecards to take advantage of internet users and try to get your personal or credit card information.

To help prevent being ripped off by these scams, many suggest relying on reputable companies and brands you know when it comes to online ecards this holiday season.

Among some of the trusted names recognized when it comes to sending a free Christmas ecard online are JibJab, Halmark, and American Greetings to name a few.

The bottom line is to be cautious when giving information over the internet. To send a free ecard to someone for Christmas or on New Years should not require much more information that your name and email address, and that of the recipient. If the web site asks for much more than that, be skeptical.

Having said that, some of the sites we listed above do offer additional paid services so use your judgment in determining whether you want to buy anything from them or just go with the free options for sending the online ecards.
