There are crooks posing as pastors or office staff trying to rob you of your hard earned money. Churches are generally vulnerable because we are in the business of helping people. This makes it harder to say 'no' when a scammer poses as a priest asking for help. The majority of victims tend to be elderly who are hesitant to report the crimes. All our requests for donations are made from the pulpit or printed on our church bulletin. A good rule of thumb in scams is that if something doesn’t feel right, it’s probably not. An easy to way to confirm is to call the church and speak with someone who you know works here. Stay alert, God bless.
