Phone Scam Update

Dear Family of St. Jacob’s,

The following is a message I shared on our Facebook page but I believe it needs to be shared through our newsletter as well.

ATTENTION ST. JACOB’S: If you received a text from someone saying it is me needing gift cards, IT IS A SCAM. I DO NOT need “EBay gift cards for women battling cancer in the hospital.” PLEASE KNOW, I would never send out a text asking for such a favor. The scammer is using my name and title and texting individuals by name. I have no idea how they might connect me to anyone. Please private message me if you get a strange text from someone claiming to be me and let me know the phone number that texted you.

I am sorry this is happening, but several other pastors have been dealing with this same issue.

Hopefully, it can be resolved quickly.

Blessings,
Pastor David
