If you receive a similar phone message (text) or email ...
PLEASE VERIFY THE SOURCE
It is essential that any electronic phone messages or email requests you receive soliciting purchases or seeking sensitive information be verified.
If you receive a message asking you to make a purchase on someone's behalf ...
PLEASE VERIFY THE SOURCE
The scammers are devious; so, you may believe that you are texting or emailing with a coworker or friend.
They are actively targeting church accounts as we tend to be more trusting of others instead of suspecting mischief.
The easiest way to verify if a message or email is legitimate is to call the person and ask them if they messaged or emailed you.
Fortunately, members of the presbytery who received the 'scam' messages did just that, and then notified our office. Thank you!
If you suspect that your phone or email or another individual's information was hacked or used inappropriately, please report it to the Presbytery of Mackinac at (231) 347-5556 ext. #1, or email admin@presbymac.org
We appreciate your vigilance! This can happen to anyone of us!!
With kind regards,
Alana Pionk
