Fake Email from Fr. John

The fake message may look like this, depending on your email program:
 

• Fr. John has affirmed that he will never initiate any requests for favors, donations, contributions, gift cards, or any other service or monies by text or email.
• If you receive such a request, please contact your parish office and do not reply to the text message or email.
• If the message is not legitimate, we will report the incident to law enforcement and/or the service provider's abuse channels.
• If you are in doubt about the legitimacy of any electronic communication claiming to be from Fr. John, please contact your home parish office.
