Fr. James has discovered reports of email solicitations from scammers seeking gift cards, money, etc., during the past several months. Often, an emergency or dire need for cash is stated in these scam emails. He said the phony emails appear to show him as the sender, but the scammers are using technology to spoof (make it look like the solicitations are from him). THEY ARE NOT FROM FATHER JAMES! He and other pastors will never solicit cash, gift cards, wire transfers, etc. in this manner.
