Email Scams on the Rise

Some of RVUUF’s congregation members have been receiving emails coming from fellow congregation members’ email addresses… which have either been hacked (the email address is correct, but a scammer wrote the message), or faked (the email address is just slightly different than the real thing, and a scammer wrote the message).

Please use extra caution when opening emails from anyone, and if it looks suspicious (asking for a “favor”, a “gift card”, “money”, etc.) don’t open it or reply.
