Beware Church Gift Card Scams and Scam e-mail
Parishioners and friends of Newman, please be careful of the latest church scams where the scammer creates an e-mail that looks like the pastor’s and then sends e-mail to the e-mail addresses found on the church’s website saying I’m working with a needy parishioner and need to get him or her a gift card. Please ignore any requests for gift cards or cash. Folks are sadly taking advantage of people’s charity and goodness of heart.
The other latest scam is to get an e-mail from the pastor writing “Is this a good time to talk? There is something I need you to do.” He would call you personally if he needed to talk instead of sending an e-mail.
