Fake texts and emails claiming to be from Pastor Jenny are circulating again. These messages often ask for gift cards, money, or urgent help—and while they may look real at first glance, they’re not from Pastor Jenny or Countryside.
This is a type of phishing scam, where someone tries to trick you into sharing personal or financial information by pretending to be someone you trust.
Here are a few quick tips to help you stay safe:
- Pastor Jenny will never ask for money or gift cards over email or text.
- If you get a suspicious message, don’t reply—and DEFINITLEY don’t click on any links or send any money.
- Check the email address or phone number—scammers often use addresses that look almost right but aren’t.
- When in doubt, call the church office or email us directly to confirm.
