Fake Emails and Other Scams of Churches

A recent report on the local news speaks to the scam we have been alerting parishioners about over the past several months.  Please go to https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Scammers-Take-Advantage-of-Church-Goers-510405801.html to see the report.  If you have any suspicions about texts or emails from OLM staff, please contact the office directly before responding to them.

Someone with an affiliation with the parish (parishioner, staff, etc.) had their address book hacked.  The hackers are using the email addresses and, in some instances phone numbers, to impersonate Fr. Steve or  Msgr. Carroll and social engineer others in that address book.  Don’t respond to any of these solicitations.  To protect yourself, please change your email password as you could have been the  party compromised.    Please delete these emails.  No one from the Parish will be sending emails requesting favors.  Thank you!
