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. These unauthorized sites have replicated our content and design, leading to confusion among our customers who may mistakenly believe they are purchasing from us.
It has come to our attention that these fraudulent sites are also running ads on Instagram and Facebook under our business name offering stamps at a discount. As stamps 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 TownOfYork.com, 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:
