BEWARE OF SCAMMERS
It has come to our attention that, once again, there have been incidents of scam attempts claiming that Fr. Tom needs you to purchase gift cards for an emergency situation. Do not respond.
Be suspicious of any messages that request money or gift cards over the phone, text or by email.
Examine the originating email address and verify if it is the correct address of the person from whom the message claims.
Sometimes the syntax is awkward or incorrect within the message of a scammer (use of tenses, grammar, punctuation…)
There may be a story that sets up an unusual need that is false. These are clues that you ought not to respond. Hit delete!
