Be Aware Of a New Phishing Attempt
Posted by Webtivity on 19 October 2021 11:07 am |
October is Cyber Security Month, and with it comes yet another Phishing attempt. Here’s what you need to be on the look-out for. It’s an email which looks like it’s coming from the USPS, but it isn’t. The email is telling you that you have a package sitting at the post office and you need to come get it. That they’ve tried to deliver it to you. But as with all phishing attempts, there are some obvious spelling errors, as well as grammar mistakes. Here are some other points, it isn’t speaking directly to your company, or even your address. And the reply to address is some place not in the country. The tracking ID isn’t even valid. These are important factors when looking at emails like this. When you stop and look at all the facts, it really stands out as a fake email, just trying to get you to click on it. So please, when you get an email that looks fishy, be aware of the fact that it probably is. If you have to ask yourself, is this legit? More often than not, it is indeed not legit at all. If you are still questioning it, and want some reassurance, send us an email here at Webtivity, or give us a call. We’re happy to answer any question you have. But don’t forward the email if you think it’s suspicious, take a screen shot of it, and send us the picture. We don’t want you forwarding any phishing emails.

Domain Scam
Posted by Meredith B on 02 April 2021 11:46 am |
We wanted to let you know about a domain scam. There is yet another scam going around trying to get some of our clients to pay to “renew” their domain. Please don’t click on any links in this email. The scammers aren’t even emailing you. What they’re doing is using the contact form on your website to send you this domain scam. This should be the first clue that this is a scam. If it were a legit bill, they would send you a bill to your email address, not the contact form on your website. Secondly, if you google what is .ga domain, it is some other country. Then, if you look at where they’re asking you to remit payment, again, that is different than where the email is coming from. If you ever have a question about your website domain, check out this website: This can provide you with all the information you need such as:
So this should clarify any misleading information that this “invoice” is trying to tell you otherwise. Furthermore, just call your web hosting company and check with them. Please, do not pay anything that looks suspicious, or click on ANY links in an odd looking email. Just give us a call or send us an email with a copy of the invoice if you’re unsure. Webtivity is always happy to help! Don’t fall victim to a domain scam. The post Domain Scam appeared first on Webtivity Marketing & Design. Read more » | |

Posted by Webtivity on 30 December 2020 10:12 am |
Jim Mancuso represented new construction home builders for many years. While representing the builder, Jim noticed most new home buyers were walking into a model home with no professional representation from a realtor or agent. This wasn’t the best place for new home buyers to be and Jim saw a need here. So, with the buyer in mind, Jim created Florida Suncoast New Homes – A NO COST TO THE BUYER CONCIERGE SERVICE!

WEBTIVITY LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE FOR DYLAN TODD PHOTOGRAPHY!
Posted by Webtivity on 18 December 2020 11:50 am |
Dylan Todd, a St. Petersburg based photographer, knew he needed more exposure for his company online. He reached out to Webtivity for help with his SEO and social media marketing. Having built his own website using an online website builder, there was much to be desired in terms of SEO. The code was messy in the back end, adding content was difficult, and it just wasn’t set up for his clients to easily reach out to him for his services. After a few months of digital marketing, Dylan had a conversation with Webtivity about what he should do about his website. Thus, a new, professionally designed WordPress website was born.
About Dylan Todd Photography: Awarded as the “Favorite New Business – Less than One Year Old” in 2018 by Watermark Magazine’s Awards for Variety and Excellence, Dylan Todd Photography is fairly new in town. But that hasn’t stopped him from making big strides on the local photography scene. Specializing in wedding shoots (and specifically beach weddings), Dylan has also found a niche in real estate photography. His natural talent for this type of photography shines as he has developed relationships with our local realtors and brokerages. Beyond that, Dylan specializes in commercial photography, professional portraits, family portraits, fine art photography, and drone video shoots. Dylan values his community and has worked with organizations like Grand Central District Association, St. Pete Pride, and Bitesquad to name a few. Dylan’s passion for his work and his neighbors can not go unnoticed. Dylan Todd Photography serves the St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, and Orlando areas.
A Word from Dylan Todd About Webtivity: “Webtivity is truly amazing! Hesitant at first about what Webtivity can do, I went into a contract to have them start handling my website SEO and some online posting. They’ve helped me come up with creative ideas and ways to share my business while maintaining true to my brand, vision, and key markets. They listened, they cared, and they want to see me succeed! It’s like having a group of people in your corner of the ring and it’s a great feeling. Recently, Webtivity approached me about re-doing my website. I’ve had my current one for a couple years – built with a website builder. It was okay, but there were definite limitations. After an awesome chat with Tim (with the least amount of pressure I have ever received from someone) – I decided, I’m ready for change! I’m ready for a better website – something that is effective, user friendly, and maintains my brand. They’ve hit all of these important ideas and then some! (Honestly, I wish I would have had them start with the website first!) The site should have the final touches done and be live soon and it’s like the best Christmas present to my business ever! I cannot say how excited I am to be working with Webtivity. They have been transparent, helpful, guiding, without pressure, and have done more for me and my business than I could even think to do for it myself. Thank you for all your hard work.”

WEBTIVITY LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE FOR AMERICAN FEEDMILLING SYSTEMS, INC.
Posted by Webtivity on 17 December 2020 01:57 pm |
Webtivity launches American Feedmilling Website. American Feedmilling Systems, Inc. and Webtivity have been friends for quite some time now. AMS loved the look of their original website designed by Webtivity as they have received feedback from their clients on how much they like the appearance and ease of use. However, like all things technology, the website was starting to become outdated. With use of outdated programs like Flash Player, it needed a new life in the world of WordPress. With a large amount of their client base being Spanish speaking, it was vitally important to have custom translation as a feature of the new website. With the help of American Feedmilling, Webtivity was able to add custom Spanish translation in lieu of a preloaded translator or plugin that couldn’t quite cut it, making the website easily navigable for all of AMS customers.
