Big Thanks to Gary for Trusting Pruett Tech Solutions!

Gary reached out to us saying he couldn’t log into his usual websites. Pages just spun or threw errors. We popped over to his place, fixed the issue, and got him back online with a grin.

While there, Gary mentioned he’s thinking of getting a new laptop. So we had a quick chat about MacBooks since it would sync seamlessly with his phone. If he goes for one, we’ve got his back for repairs, right here in town.

Tech acting up? Need a better setup? Pruett Tech Solutions is your local go-to!

Phishing and social engineering scams are on the rise, using clever emails, texts, and calls to trick you into sharing personal information. At Pruett Tech Solutions, we’re passionate about helping homeowners stay safe online. Here’s a quick guide to spotting these scams and protecting yourself in 2025.

Red Flags for Phishing, Social Engineering, and AI Voice Spoofing

Scammers are getting smarter, but you can spot their tricks by watching for these red flags:

1. Suspicious Senders: Check email addresses carefully. A “company” email from “service@random123.xyz” instead of “company.com” is a warning sign.
2. Urgent or Threatening Messages: Phrases like “Your account is suspended!” or “Click now!” pressure you to act without thinking.
3. Shady Links or Attachments: Hover over links (don’t click!) to verify the URL. Unknown attachments can hide malware.
4. Impersonation Tactics: Scammers may pose as your bank, a friend, or a trusted brand. Look for odd wording or unusual requests like sharing passwords.
5. Too-Good-to-Be-True Offers: “Free gift card!” or “You’ve won a prize!” messages are often traps to steal your data.
6. AI Voice Spoofing: Beware of calls with familiar voices (e.g., a “relative” or “coworker”) asking for urgent help or payments. AI can mimic voices using just seconds of audio, often sourced from social media or voicemails.

Tips to Stay Safe

• Pause and Verify: Don’t click or share info in a rush. Contact the company directly using official channels. Use PhishTank or URLScan.io to check suspicious links or sites.
• Use Strong Passwords: Unique, complex passwords protect your accounts.
• Update Software: Keep devices and antivirus tools up to date to block threats.
• Limit Voice Exposure: Avoid sharing voice clips online; scammers can use them for AI spoofing.
• Trust Your Gut: If something feels off, it probably is.

At Pruett Tech Solutions, we’re all about delivering reliable, innovative IT services to businesses and individuals in Cumberland County, Tennessee, and beyond. Today, we’re excited to share an important update about our online presence: we’ve transitioned from pruetttechsolutions.com to pruetttechsolutions.net and launched a completely revamped, user-friendly website!

Why the Change to .net?

You might be wondering what prompted this shift. Unfortunately, our original .com domain was purchased by a third party before we could renew it—a situation many businesses face in the fast-moving digital world. While this was unexpected, we saw it as an opportunity to reimagine our online home and better serve our clients.

Rather than dwelling on the loss of the .com, we doubled down on creating a website that reflects our commitment to simplicity, accessibility, and top-notch IT solutions. The result? A sleek, modern, and intuitive pruetttechsolutions.net designed with you in mind.

What’s New with Our Website?

Our team took this chance to overhaul the website from the ground up, focusing on making it easier for you to find the IT services you need. Here’s what you can expect from the new pruetttechsolutions.net:

• Simpler Navigation: We’ve streamlined the layout so you can quickly access information about our IT services, from cybersecurity to cloud solutions and IT support for Cumberland County businesses.
• User-Friendly Design: The new site is clean, modern, and easy to use, whether you’re browsing on a desktop, tablet, or phone.
• Faster Performance: We’ve optimized the site for speed, ensuring you get the information you need without delays.
• Local Focus: As a proud Cumberland County business, we’ve tailored content to highlight how we support our Tennessee community with reliable tech solutions.

Our Commitment to You Remains Unchanged

While our domain and website have a fresh look, our mission hasn’t wavered. Pruett Tech Solutions is still dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality IT services that help your business thrive. Whether you’re a small business in Crossville or a larger organization in Cumberland County, we’re here to solve your tech challenges with expertise and care.
