We are once again seeing a large increase in phishing scam emails. Often, these emails claim to be from Rev. Todd or other UUCS members. Many claim these individuals needs you to handle a “discreet request” or “need help” and that you must communicate via email. 

Rev. Todd and the UUCS staff will never ask you to obtain gift cards or send money directly to them. Neither will most UUCS members. If you are in any doubt, or even if you’re not in doubt, call that member directly to verify! 

In addition, you can check the sender address of the email. Official messages from Rev. Todd only come from the uuspokane.org email domain. If you receive a suspicious email, do not reply to it or forward it, simply delete it and send us a separate message letting us know.

Thank you for being aware and cautious with emails like this!
