Beware of gift card scam via email

Once again there are emails floating around that appear to be from someone you know; however, BE CAREFUL NOT to "reply" unless you KNOW it was really from that person (sometimes you can tell by the email address - or maybe the words in the email don't "sound" like the person who sent it). Once you engage - they will want your assistance with gift cards - this is possibly a SCAM.

We need your help at Newgate Mission

Longview EPC volunteers cook and serve up breakfast at Newgate Mission located at 207 S Mobberly Ave, Longview, TX 75602. Each 3rd Saturday of the month at 6:45 am Andy Howell heads up a crew of 5 or 6 folks as they prepare eggs, biscuits, sausage and gravy. Newgate has arranged for this to be safe during the virus - the food is prepared and packaged and they hand it out - instead of serving in the dining area.
