Be careful out there!

Scammers are getting smarter- make sure you’re one step ahead!

CRA, Microsoft, Canada Post, and fake “e-transfer” scams are happening constantly, through text messages, emails, and pop ups.

Make sure you don’t click any unfamiliar links sent to you, and if you get a message from a loved one in trouble -make sure you contact them through another means first to verify.

For a PC safety checkup, come by the shop and we can make sure you’re secure!
