When giving out your directory number for the gate, please remember to double check that your number is correct as a lot of residents are receiving calls for other residents in here and it’s not their responsibility to let them in.
Have a great day!

As always, I am available in the office Mon – Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 12pm. Should I have to step out for some reason, I will have the phone with me.

SCAM ALERTS
Never provide your personal information or bank account information to someone you don’t know or to anyone that calls you on the phone. The scammer pretends to be a friend or family member in an emergency and asks you to send money right away and not tell anyone. Immediately Hang up and call them on a number you know is theirs.
Scammers also initiate contact by displaying fake error messages on websites you visit, possibly displaying support numbers and enticing you to call. Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers use scary tactics to trick you into unnecessary technical support services to supposedly fix your device or software problems that don’t exist. At best, the scammers are trying to get you to pay them to fix a nonexistent problem with your device or software. At worst their trying to steal your personal information; and if you allow them to remote into your computer to perform this “fix “they will often install malware, ransomware or other unwanted programs that can steal your information or damage your data or device.
Please be very cautious with any and all calls you receive, especially this time of year!
