Over the past few days, we've received calls from several customers asking about an email claiming that Milwaukee PC is migrating to a new webmail system.
The email usually says that you need to log in to a new email system to keep your account active or prevent losing your data. It may include a button that says something like "Log in to New Webmail."
If you've received one of these emails, stop before clicking anything.
Give your local Milwaukee PC store a call first.
We'll tell you right away whether the email is legitimate.
Milwaukee PC Is Not Asking Customers to Migrate Their Email
At this time, Milwaukee PC is not asking customers to log into a new webmail system through an email link.
If we ever make changes to our email services, we'll communicate those changes clearly through our official channels, and we're always happy to answer questions over the phone before you take any action.
Unfortunately, scammers know that emails involving passwords, account verification, and "urgent updates" often catch people off guard.
That's why we encourage every customer to contact us first if something doesn't seem right.
One Phone Call Can Save You a Lot of Trouble
This is something we genuinely want all of our customers to remember.
If you ever receive an email that claims to be from Milwaukee PC and asks you to:
Call Milwaukee PC first.
We would much rather spend a few minutes answering your questions than spend hours helping recover an account after it has been compromised.
If you're unsure, don't guess.
Call us.
Why These Emails Are Dangerous
The goal of emails like this isn't to inform you.
Their goal is to trick you into giving away your username and password.
Many phishing websites look almost identical to the real login page. Everything may appear normal until you've entered your information.
Once someone has your email password, they may be able to access much more than just your inbox.
Your email is often connected to:
In many cases, your email is the key to your entire online life.
That's why scammers target it so aggressively.
How to Spot a Suspicious Email
While scam emails have become much more convincing over the years, there are still some common warning signs.
Ask yourself:
-
Is the email creating a sense of urgency?
-
Is it asking me to click a link?
-
Is it asking for my password?
-
Does something about it feel "off"?
-
Am I being told to act immediately?
If the answer is yes, don't rush.
Instead, contact the company directly using a phone number you already know is legitimate.
If the email claims to be from Milwaukee PC, call Milwaukee PC.
