Many people received an e-mail from an EIC Member Wednesday, claiming she was stranded and needed financial help.

THIS WAS A SCAM! Do not respond to it.

She is fine. Her e-mail account was "hijacked."

Please be aware of this common scam. Don't let the sense of urgency or panic in the texts, e-mails or phone calls compel you to help a "desperate situation" without first checking it out.

We pray nobody fell for this scam and lost money, but if you did report it to the police.

Blessings -- Pastor Norman
