The email from "UC Cares" is a candidate for deletion

You may have received an email from something called "UC Cares" which might seem to come from UC or UCLA. At best, the email is coming from some kind of financial services firm looking for business. At worst, it is some kind of scam.

It says at the bottom you are receiving the email because you below to the "State Retirement System." There is nothing in California with that precise name; the university's plan is called the University of California Retirement System (UCRS).

Finally, the email comes from ucupdates.com, which is not a UC address. The only financial entity with an official relationship to the UC retirement program is Fidelity.

Bottom line advice: Delete the email. And certainly do not give out your personal financial information in response to unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls.
