Did that text really come from your pastor?
Scammers are texting church members while pretending to be the pastor, asking for gift cards. Give your members a simple page where they can check a message before they lose money.
The message your members are getting
Police departments and dioceses across the country have warned about this scam. Some members have lost hundreds of dollars. Some have lost thousands.
How it works
The church office signs up
Enter your real phone numbers and emails for the office and staff, and the promises your church makes, like "we never ask for gift cards."
Print the QR code
Put the flyer in the bulletin or on the bulletin board. Members save the page on their phone.
Members check a message
They paste the text or add a screenshot. In seconds they get a plain answer and your office number to call.
Why a general scam checker isn't enough
Free scam checkers don't know your pastor's real number. This page does. It compares the sender with the contacts your office gave us, then explains the warning signs in plain words, in large type, for members who aren't comfortable with technology.
It never tells anyone a money request is safe. The best answer a message can get is "we can't confirm this, call the office."
When a member reports a scam, your office sees it right away, so you can warn everyone that Sunday.
