Latest News: Beware of Fraudulent Websites Impersonating TownOfYork.com
A number of fraudulent websites, including ottawastamps.com, townofyork.ca, torontofirstpostoffice.com, and torontopostoffice.com, are impersonating Toronto’s First Post Office & the Town of York Historical Society. These unauthorized sites have replicated our content and design, leading to confusion among our customers. They are also running ads on Instagram and Facebook under our business name offering stamps at a discount. As stamp prices are regulated by the Federal government, current stamps in circulation are never sold at a discounted rate. Please be aware that these ads do not originate from our organization or our official socials. For your safety and security, please only purchase from our official website, TownOfYork.com, and ensure any social media interactions are conducted through our official handles: Instagram @TOs1stPO and Facebook /TOs1stPO. We are actively working to resolve this issue and appreciate your continued trust and support.
