Safe Email Practices

We are seeing more and more E-Mail scams and viruses come through our shop. We want to inform people as much as we can about how to avoid being a victim to these attacks. We can’t guarantee the following tips will keep you one hundred percent protected, but they will help you in recognizing potential threats.

• Don’t open email attachments unless you know what they are and who they came from.


• Don’t open, forward or reply to spam or suspicious emails; delete them


• Be aware of sure signs of scam email.




• Not addressed to you by name


• Asks for personal or financial information


• Asks you for password


• Asks you to forward it to lots of other people


• Is too good to be true




• Don’t click on website addresses in emails unless you know what you are opening.


• Use antivirus and update it regularly.

The most important tip is to use common sense. If a VIP (very important person) of some far away country is trying to contact you or a long lost relative has passed on leaving you a substantial sum of money, it is probably not legitimate.
