Please be aware that there are phishing emails that are being sent from employees of the UNY Conference. THESE ARE SCAMS!!!!! All UNY Conference employees emails would come from unyumc.org. If they are from any other email account....they are not from the person at UNY Conference. The Bishop and quite a few of the District Superintendents have had emails sent in their name but from an AT&T icloud email. DO NOT OPEN EMAILS THAT ARE NOT FROM unyumc.org . |
