Have just had an email from stamps.com as follows:-
"This message was sent to you at the request of Lindsay Eymann, to notify you that they have shipped a package to you. For details about your shipment or to track your package, please refer to the information below."
It appears to be a USPS shipment from Phoenix, AZ and from there website they seem to be touting home printed shipping labels.
Has anyone else had emails from them? Are they legit? where would they have got my email from, Ebay, or other auction sites?
Package has not yet arrived so do not know it's contents.
I Googled and there is indeed a Lindsay Eyemann in Phoenix.
"Lindsay E Eymann (age 67 years), Lives in 2619 E Lynne Ln, Phoenix, AZ"
That does not mean the email is legit. If you don't know this person and aren't expecting a package, do nothing. Don't click on any links in the email. It may be a phishing expedition.
You will probably never receive a package. I regularly get these, Amazon delivery notices (even though I have never bought from Amazon), account warnings from banks I've never heard of. It's the wild west out there on the Internet.
Yes, do not click anything in the e-mail. Delete the e-mail immediately.
Stamps.com's contact/subscribers list may have been hacked, and a phishing e-mail being sent to all it's members; or something similar.
Best case scenario is that it is simply an error by stamps.com.
Bruce, I highlighted, copied, pasted the tracking number into the USPS website and it came back with "no trace".
I Googled the firm in the email and found it was from Phoenix and that they charge around $16 month for the convenience of printing postage/shipping labels at home. Why would I pay good money and some for a full price label when I can buy postage at a discount? No contest.
I'm glad you copied and pasted the so-called tracking number into the USPS website. The answer you received pretty much conclusively proves that either the email was a part of a fishing scheme or spam.
