This one particulary made me angry.
Their greeting card worm uses a site called:
http://www.friendgreetings.com/
When you visit it, it looks like a low end flower shopping site, by 'Floral Inspirations by nancy - Phoenix, Arizona'.

Looking closer, you see that the content is absolutely fake, none of the links work.

Doing a whois on the site reveals that the creator is:
'Alfaro, Ricardo
admin@permissionedmedia.com
Permissioned Media Inc.
Apartado 5956
Panama City, El Dorado Zona 6
PA 571-628-5535 '
