Read the wiki definition for this outfit and you get the impression it's a scam or malware??

JJ_BPK,
The most likely prospect: one of your sheeple uses boxbe and added your contact info in their database. Boxbe has a bad rep since one of things they do is send spams out to their user's contacts. Though they don't call it that...
If you are concerned (probably shouldn't be) contact aol support directly, don't click on links in your email. To be safe you should also download Avast, install it, run a boot scan, then change your password on aol. In that order. (Avast will stop the new type of ad malware which generally grabs passwords and credit card info; from infecting your machine in the future and remove anything if its already on your machine. Its free). This is just in case someone grabbed your info and created a boxbe account. But everyone should do this as standard practice as its pretty prevalent. It is a good internet condom...you can get it at
www.avast.com
http://mail.google.com provides the most advanced email filters and interface, something you may want to pass on to the sheeple whom is using boxbe. Meaning: most crap doesn't even make it to your gmail spam box let alone your in box.
