Dont fall victim to the enticement of free stuff.

02.01.2022 Beware of scam emails asking you to confirm your Microsoft or Office 365 details. Switch on Multi Factor Authentication today!!! Office 365 is a great cloud platform for emails, document sharing and a host of other cloud based solutions. But having the name Microsoft in it means that it is targeted by scammers due to its popularity. ... There have been plenty of scam emails circulating the world. Many of which look like fairly legitimate emails coming from Microsoft. Please note that Microsoft (or any other reputable company) would never ask you to log in to confirm you account details.

Talk to Echo Tech Solutions today to find out how to implement this for your business.
