803-502-6700 / 8035026700

I received a call supposedly from UPS stating there is an outstanding balance due that could impact service. We are a small business and use UPS to ship packages. The rep was calling to get payment for a past due invoice. I declined to make payment. The rep informed me that our service could be interrupted if I didn't make a payment. There is also another UPS scam number in circulation: 877-869-7502. They've called on multiple occasions. I informed one rep that I had forwarded the number and experience(s) to the police department and they always hang up. UPS never contacts us asking for any business information such as our account number or address.

scam

guys, you are freaking out about nothing.UPS has a brokerage division that would require a TAX ID for all imported shipments.And yes, the number is correct... but there is a full range... 803-502-6703 you can call back TO THEM if you are nervousl; it is most definitley legit.

Thats simply untrue... they DO require your SS or tax ID for some shipments.Try importing any decent Quanitity from Canada and you will get the same issue with any trucking or LTL carrier.

Yesterday I received a call from this # and I was told the same thing about my Social Security #. I immediately sent UPS an email asking that under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES would UPS request a persons SS#. This was my response from UPS.Dear Michael,Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However, in order to maintain the integrity of our security measures, UPS would never require a Social Security Number.Please contact us if you need any additional assistance.Roxanne T. UPS Technical Support UPS now has a new app that lets you Track, Ship, Find Locations and obtain rate quotes directly from your smartphone. Go to m.ups.com or visit ups.com to learn about Apple and BlackBerry device-specific applications. So there you have it. UPS WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! IT'S A SCAM!

Received a call from this # today. It was not UPS, but came up as WASHINGTON SAFE. Hence I am highly doubtful and any claim about it being UPS legitimate. Secondly, this call came in on a number that is basically a fax number, few people have and I rarely give out.Thirdly, you should NEVER give out your SS# to anyone over the phone...ever. If it is needed, fill out an official form/document. Even the CPB will tell you to guard that number with your life.

UPS CAN SUCK IT!

Yes, this is definitely a legit UPS number. I am late with a couple of duty payments for international shipments and I just spoke about them to woman calling from this number. She didn't need to ask for my SS#, because I already provided that information to UPS when I shipped the packages. Not a scam.

PS: It is correct that UPS will never ask you for a SS#, at least not over the phone, but the US Gov't and their brokers will. They are required to collect that information for certain shipments. UPS assists with providing and submitting these forms, but they do not require them for their own use.

Seems legit altho it is odd. They called and sent an emai. When they called, they asked for my business tax I'd #. When I said my package was for me personally, they did NOT ask for any more info. If its a scam, they aren't very effective because they didn't ask for any personal info.
