We have been seeing more phishing emails lately and they continue to get more sophisticated and troublesome. Please be extra cautious and communicative if you are not sure about a request. If you receive an email or text message that appears to be from a UUCM minister, staff or church member asking you for a favor, money or to purchase gift cards, please be sure to always speak with the alleged sender directly (draft a separate email, or call them) BEFORE giving money or purchasing gift cards of any kind.

Here’s an example of what to look out for:

Remember, you can click on the address to make sure who the email is coming from. Any email from a member of the UUCM staff will end in @uucmtka.org. The image below is an example of another red flag to look out for. As you can see, the contact says it’s coming from Rev. Lisa, but when you look at the email address, it’s not Rev. Lisa’s email.

Please feel free to reach out to office@uucmtka.org with any questions.
