Fraudulent emails are doing the rounds of our diocese purporting to be from the parish priest. Some have been received in our parish claiming to be from Fr Peter. They have been around for some time from several sources but there is a current increase in them.

• Never purchase gift cards as gifts for the parish priest, based on an email request.
• Avoid sharing personal or financial information in response to unsolicited emails.
• Report any such emails as spam.
• You can double-check any suspicious email by directly contacting the parish office.
• Fr Peter will never ask for personal details or ask you to make a purchase online.
