Email scammers are escalating their tactics. Once again we've received notification of fraudulent emails from someone claiming to be Bishop Russell asking for immediate help for some sort of task. Below is a screenshot of the most recent scam.

Diocesan staff emails, including Bishop Russell's will come from an @diocgc.org email address.

If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from Bishop Russell or any other diocesan staff, and would like to report it, please send an email to communications@diocgc.org, or use one of the methods listed below.

Religious organizations are commonly targets of such scams, phishing, and whaling attacks by using impersonation tactics to take advantage of unsuspecting people. The best way to combat these types of attacks is to check the sender's email address, and confirm requests with a conversation. Do not click on any links or reply to the message if you have any suspicion the email is fraudulent.
