PSA: Scammers are at it again!
Phishing for money isn't fishing for people, although it is meant to lure you into a trap!
This is a reminder to use caution and skepticism when engaging your pastors or leaders. ;)
We just learned that emails are going out from a fake address pretending to be Pastor Jenny. Last year, they also sent texts to members at our partner St. Aidan's Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan claiming to be her.
As scammers adapt to our detections, they may send other requests first to engage you and then lure you into a sense of relationship before asking for your monetary help (often asking for gift cards).
Please remember Pastor Jenny will NEVER solicit assistance directly from you. She will always recommend that money and gifts be directed through the churches. If you are ever in doubt, call her cell and/or check directly with Pastor Tom as well. Nothing will ever be secret or urgent.
