E-MAIL SCAMS: Beware of a frequent con where someone creates an email address that looks like the pastor, Fr. Ivan, or someone at Newman, and asks for help. Please do not reply, but either call the person directly or use an e-mail you know works to make sure it is a legitimate request.
The current scam uses the topic, “GOOD MORNING, EMAIL ME BACK PLEASE.” and the e-mail, “frivan.calnewman@gmail.com”. I use the domain, “@calnewman.org”, along with most of the staff. Either delete the e-mail or you can do what one of our students did. She wrote back expressing compassion to the person, how tough his/her life must be needing to be deceptive and trick people and that she’ll pray for him.
