Scam Alert!
Over the past few weeks, scammers have tried to get FUSW congregants to give the password to our members only page and to get “help” with Venmo and Zelle (i.e., asking for money).
They’ve done this by sending realistic letters signed by our pianist in residence and by our president. Don’t be fooled! The giveaway is the return email address, but in any event, don’t email anyone money or private information.
If you’re unsure about an email, forward it to our administrator, and Karmesha will help you figure out whether it’s legitimate. (admin@fusw.org)
