Attention All Members & Customers: Beware of Fraudulent Websites Impersonating TownOfYork.com:
A number of fraudulent website, ottawastamps.com, townofyork.ca, torontofirstpostoffice.com, and torontopostoffice.com, are currently impersonating Toronto’s First Post Office and the Town of York Historical Society.
