Email Fraud Alert
There has been an uptick in fraudulent emails that appear as though they have come from clergy, staff, or leaders in this region. Please be vigilant; churches are particularly vulnerable to phishing emails requesting gift cards, asking that money be sent to the account of a “sick relative,” and other similar tactics that attempt to take advantage of compassion. For information on how to recognize and protect yourself from phishing scams, visit the FTC’s guide.
