Don't Fall for the Scam!
/There has been an uptick in reports of spam messages and emails posing as Fr Ryan asking for gift cards etc.
If it feels out of character to be getting a text from Father Ryan, you are correct! He will not be communicating in that way and never will.
These requests are spam and phishing attempts that are trying to get access to your personal information or your $$$. Do not engage in the request. Delete the text, block the number, report the email as spam and delete it from your account.
And no, unfortunately we cannot stop the spam coming to your phone or email. We recommend that you try to block the number and report the attempt as spam or a phishing attempt to your email or phone provider.
Wishing you blessings this Lent!
