Phishing

We continue to hear reports of parishioners receiving emails purporting to be from Rev Mark and asking for assistance. Please remain vigilant and remember that Mark would never approach people in this way. As a general rule, do not give out personal information, purchase anything or send money without verifying the source. If you wish to contact Mark to check whether an email has really come from him, then you can find his details on the website (but do not follow links in emails unless you have checked they are taking you to the correct website!).
