Recently we’ve seen reports of phishing emails and texts pretending to be Greetings Island invitations and cards. These fake messages are designed to trick you into typing your email password (or other login details) into a lookalike page. They’re often sent from the accounts of people you know whose own email has already been compromised.
These messages are sent entirely outside of Greetings Island — our systems have not been breached, and scammers are simply imitating our brand. Because they don’t come from us, we can’t stop them from being sent. Your safety matters to us, so here’s how to tell a real Greetings Island message from a fake one.
Quick checklist: what a real Greetings Island message looks like
- No login required. You can always open a real Greetings Island card or invitation directly. We will never ask you to sign in with your email password to view a card.
-
No attachments or downloads. We never send
.exe,.pdf,.msi,.zip, or any other file to download. Real cards are shown right in your browser. - Sent from an official address. Check the sender against our verified list below.
-
Links go to an official domain. Real links only ever go to
greetingsisland.comor our short-link domainrsvp.online(see below).
Official Greetings Island email addresses
Invitation & card emails
Real invitations, cards, and RSVP notifications are sent from one of these addresses:
dispatch@greetingsisland.comdispatch@mail.greetingsisland.com
Customer support emails
Our support team will only ever contact you from:
support@greetingsisland.com
Tip: Some email providers (Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo) show a checkmark or “verified sender” badge next to trusted senders. Also remember that a display name can say “Greetings Island” while the real address behind it is something else entirely — always check the actual email address, not just the name.
Official Greetings Island links
Real Greetings Island cards and invitations are always hosted on our own domains. Legitimate links begin with one of these — and no others:
https://www.greetingsisland.com-
https://rsvp.online/— our official short-link domain (used mainly in text-message invitations)
Any other web address is a red flag. If you’re on a computer, you can hover your mouse over a link (without clicking) to preview where it actually goes — the real destination appears near your cursor or at the bottom of the browser window. If it doesn’t point to greetingsisland.com or rsvp.online, don’t click it.
Text message (SMS) invitations
If you’ve chosen to receive a card or invitation by text, real Greetings Island messages come from one of our official sending numbers. Depending on your region, this may be a US, UK, or Australian number:
- +1 218 377 3704
- +1 337 492 0242
- +1 231 886 3367
- +44 7472 922596
- +44 7878 760713
- +61 468 172 598
- +61 468 075 975
A real Greetings Island text will always include a link that begins with https://rsvp.online/. If a text claims to be from us but the link goes anywhere else, treat it as fake.
Warning signs of a fake “invitation”
Based on the fakes we’ve seen, watch out for a message that:
- Asks you to “sign in” to view the card — especially a page asking for your email password, or offering “Sign in with Google / Outlook / Yahoo” buttons. Real Greetings Island cards never require this.
- Comes from someone you know’s personal email (often a Gmail or work address) rather than one of our official addresses. Their account may have been hijacked and used to spread the scam.
- Includes an attachment or asks you to download something to open the invitation.
- Uses urgency or pressure — “view before it expires,” “action required,” etc.
- Has a link that doesn’t go to greetingsisland.com, or a link that’s hidden behind a button or shortened URL you can’t verify.
- Contains spelling or grammar mistakes, odd formatting, or a logo that looks slightly off.
What a real Greetings Island card looks like
A genuine card or invitation opens straight in your browser with no sign-in and no download — you simply click the link and see the card. You’ll never be asked for your email password to view it.
Not sure if a message is real?
- Don’t click any links and don’t download any files.
- Never enter your email password or other login details on a page you reached from the message.
- Forward the suspicious message to support@greetingsisland.com so our team can look into it.
Think your email was used to send cards you didn’t create?
Some people tell us that after they opened a fake invitation and entered their password, their own email account started sending the same fake “invitation” to all of their contacts. If that happens to you, the fake page captured your email login — not your Greetings Island account. Act quickly:
- Change your email account password right away, and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Run an antivirus/security scan on your device (or ask an IT professional) to make sure nothing malicious was installed.
- Warn the people in your contacts list that a fake invitation may have gone out from your address.
- If you believe your actual Greetings Island account (not just your email) was affected, contact us at support@greetingsisland.com.
Remember: these phishing messages are not sent by Greetings Island. Scammers are impersonating our brand from outside our platform. When in doubt, don’t click — forward it to support@greetingsisland.com and we’ll help.
