Mail Forwarding Issue

First of all I would be VERY leery about sending all that info they are asking for. They should NOT be asking for that personal info from you.

Go to any UPS Store in any state. Pay for the box, they give you an address and no ID required period. They do everything a post office does only they are privately owned and can provide an address that you can use when a po box address is not accepted when doing business.

Because of the new stupid ID act, and the patriot act you can no longer get a real po box if you don't live in that state and have a DL license from that state, UPS Store remedies that.

I just had someone I knew that lived in Florida open a po box for me. They don't care what mail gets delivered to it just that the person that paid for it had a DL for that state. :R

Yes, called, and it's resolved now. And yes, legitimate.

But I still find it interesting, ludicrous, ridiculous that a utility bill can be used as an ID for mail-forwarding. That's borders on insanity... with ID theft and all that stuff, to be able to certify that you're You using a utility bill blows my mind.

Believe it or not, it is a postal regulation ... where exactly do they find these guys that write the laws anyway? In the morgue?

Did you call them and discuss this?

Is this a legitimate email from the MF company?
