URGENT REQUEST

Hi  Hutchey,

I would like to know if you're available, Glenn needs to pay a vendor today but he's having issues with his Zelle & PayPal accounts. to make the payment. Are you familiar with Zelle or PayPal? Please let me know if you can help pay with either of these payment platforms. It's urgent, Glenn will send you a reimbursement check if you can help. Please get back to me as soon as you get this.

Best Regards!

Manoj M. Zacharia

Always check the email address before responding. If it is not from @stannes-annapolis.org, it isn’t from the church.

The Rector would never ask a parishioner to pay a vendor directly on behalf of the church. If the church ever needs donations, we will communicate the request during announcements, in the e-blast, or bulletin. If the Rector wants to talk to you, he will call you on your phone.

Please report scam texts as phishing in your messaging app and consider reporting to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Forward phishing emails to reportphishing@apwg.org (an address used by the Anti-Phishing Working Group, which includes ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies), and consider reporting it to the FTC at FTC.gov/Complaint.

Thank you for staying vigilant!
