Be Safe Online

Email Scams

 

We've become aware of some emails scams that appear to come from church members or another familiar email account. The ones we've seen ask whether the recipient is an Amazon user, seeking help making a purchase. We all want to help our neighbors. At the same time, use caution and curiosity. If it seems a little odd, do some investigation. Don't click on links in the email or respond to that email. Forward that email to the address you know for the person the email claims to come from and ask if they sent the email. Below are some helpful links with information about staying safe online.
