Scams
Such an unpleasant topic, but an important one.
Beware of emails that seem odd. An email from Rev. Jim that sounds strange - probably is not from him! Double check! Start a new email and reach out to him, instead of responding to the email.
Phone calls...if you didn't initiate the call, be skeptical. From scam calls from Duke Energy ready to "cut off your power" to even scam "contact tracing" asking for your personal information.... we all have to think twice sometimes. Trust your gut!
