Email scam targeting churches
Seattle Presbytery
An email scam is targeting our churches, pretending to be an employee asking for a bank account change for direct deposit. If you receive any emails like this, do NOT respond. Call the employee directly to verify the information and never share any account information over email.
Background on this type of fraud & similar schemes.
Actions to take if you’ve had funds stolen:
Contact your bank immediately.
File a police report.
Notify the Presbytery so we can share with other churches.
