A number of parishioners have received scam emails recently purporting to be from Father Scott.

Check the sender’s email address: if it isn’t sbailey@allsaintswoodbridge.org, then the email is not from Father Scott.

Please do not reply, open any attachments, click on any links, or provide any information to the sender.

This is a good rule of thumb whenever you receive a suspicious email, especially from a member of the clergy: check the sender’s email address. If you don’t recognize it, delete the email.

Rest assured that neither the church database nor the website has been hacked, and clergy will never ask you to purchase gift cards!
