Anyone else getting this in their email?

When you sign up for any of the social accounts, they will ask which email program you use to 'find other contacts.' I have never done it, because I hate the intrusiveness of it. I have used emails to find others on FB though. It is hella easier if you have an email address vs a name. Email will return only the correct account. Names will give you the most popular searches for that name.

Works for FB, twitter, LinkedIn for sure.

Looks every bit as bogus as the emails about problems with a fedex or ups shipment.
Who does it show as being from when you hover over the email?

I assure you it is, I'm waiting on my $10 million as I type this.

No, but now that you mention it, I did apply for an internal job and the website UPS uses to have you apply is owned by Equifax.


If you type the url with no spaces, it takes you to this website:

Box | Simple Online Collaboration ,

which does look like something from UPS.

Could be. I made the mistake one time of giving my cell on an application for a loan. I get spam calls on my cell now.

My email usually consists of offers to help me get it up and invites from foreign women to put it in to.

Are they hot?

I'm not surprised.

It comes from box dot com.

I've checked around and came up with only a few other examples of the email I received.

Still have no idea why UPS would create a 3rd party account in my name unless it has something to do with me using the internal job site. Either way, this is BS if UPS is doing that without my consent.

Could be one of those scam websites that puts nasty stiff on your computer if you go to it.
Dunno for certain, though.
Might see if a search brings up anything good or bad about it.

Looks like a scam to me. Does UPS even have your email address? That's how I always immediately realize a scam.... When I know I haven't given anyone my email address.

I know Upsers.com has my email address , I think it's listed somewhere on there.

Doesn't mean this email is legit and No, I didn't receive this notification in my e-mail.

They do have my email, but I have never seen that.

I'm not going to logon to the box site but I kinda have a feeling it has something to do with applying for an internal position.

Use one email I put down for useless crap that I don't care if it gets compromised. Another that only my financial institutions and my memberships to things such as Amazon, Xbox Live, PayPal, eBay etc. Nasty things about those email scams is they can send spam from your email to others in your contact lists if it gets compromised. I keep contacts in my secure one for this purpose.

If Brown Cafe ever decided to disperse my email, it would fall in line with the other 100 emails daily I get in my trash account.

I do this as well however, UPSers has my legit email and that's where the link was posted. Unfortunately, I have had that email for over a decade and am not changing it.

I've applied for internal job postings and have never seen that.
