SCAM ALERT!! FRAUD WARNING: Please be careful.
There has been a recent increase in fraudulent phone calls, text messages, and emails claiming to be from bishops, priests, or deacons requesting personal information or financial assistance. Please be advised that these messages do not originate from our bishops, priests, or deacons. They are scams. Do not respond to these messages, provide any personal or financial information, or click on any links they may contain. If you are unsure whether a message is legitimate, contact your church or cathedral directly using a trusted phone number or contact information obtained from the parish website or directory. Do not use any phone number or link provided in the suspicious message. Remaining vigilant is the best way to protect yourself and others from these fraudulent attempts.
