warning - email threats continue
EMAIL THREAT NOVEMBER 21, 2018We have been alerted that several parishioners have received multiple emails today from someone posing as our pastor, Fr. Mark Lawlor, requesting the purchase of gift cards to be given directly to someone else. If you receive one of these requests, please delete it immediately. This is a scam. Unfortunately, it is one of numerous email and phone scams that request monetary help, supposedly for a trusted friend or family member.Pastors at St. Gabriel, St. Peter, and St. Vincent de Paul have also been the victims of cyber impersonation. This type of fraudulent email is called a spearphishing attack. The criminals personalize messages and target people from lists. Replying to these messages is dangerous and not recommended.Some things to look for to identify a fraudulent email:You receive an email. The sender’s display name shows someone you know. You might open the message but something about the message looks suspicious. Maybe the tone of the message, the message contains a request for money, or asks you to do something e.g. buy a gift card, etc. Usually, time is of the essence, but not always. Cyber criminals are patient. Finally, you look at the sender’s actual email address (hover your mouse pointer over the sender’s address in the message header to see the sender’s actual email address). If a name appears when you are hovering that is different from the display name, you know for sure it’s a SPAM message. The recent scammers are trying to make the return email look like Fr. Mark’s St. Therese email address, however you will notice it has @gmail.com at the end, letting you know it is fraudulent.To protect yourself from being the victim of a similar scam , the Consumer Protection Agency advocates speaking directly to the friend or family member who appears to be asking for money. Ten helpful tips for avoiding fraud are available here on their website .To verify the legitimacy of a request from any of our parish clergy, you may call the Parish Office at 704-664-3992. -
