To: Priests
From: The Most Reverend Bernard E. Shlesinger III
It has been brought to my attention that three of our senior priests received a scam phone call this morning from someone who says they are from the “Social Security Administration.”
The caller claimed to have their supervisor on the phone as well and proceeded to ask for personal information including bank account numbers.
This is a scam attempting to obtain and misuse your personal and financial information. The Social Security office would never phone a recipient and conduct critical and sensitive business over the telephone.
If you receive such a call, please do not give out any information. Promptly end the call and contact the police so they may immediately investigate.
Thank you.
