A Cyber Security Warning from The Playful Collective

Hello TPC Fam,

I wanted to personally reach out to you to bring to your attention an important matter regarding online safety.

It has come to my attention that fraudulent individuals have recently set up scam / phishing websites impersonating my beautiful store, The Playful Collective. These malicious sites are designed to deceive customers like you into providing personal information or making payments under false pretenses and have fraudulently used our business name, images, and thousands of our products.

Please be assured that our official website and online platforms remain secure and continue to operate as usual - we have not been hacked, only copied.

However, as always, I strongly advise exercising caution and vigilance when browsing the internet or receiving unsolicited communications related to our store that don't come from our one and only email address, hello@theplayfulcollective.com.au.

 

To protect yourself from falling victim to these scams, please remember:

Always verify the URL of any website you visit, ensuring it matches our official domain: theplayfulcollective.com.au.

Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unrecognized sources.

Be cautious of emails or messages asking for sensitive information, even if they appear to be from us! I would never ask you for information or payment unless through official channels.

 

The safety and security of my customers is so important to me, and as such I am actively working to address this issue with relevant authorities and have these websites taken down. Should you encounter any suspicious activity or have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at hello@theplayfulcollective.com.au.

Thank you for your continued support! Together, we can keep our TPC Fam Community safe so we can all continue enjoying the wonderful and joyous play resources we all love so much! 

Warm wishes,

Bianca
