We have received word from several parishes, all of them located in Troy, that many of their parishioners have received scam emails that appear to be from the pastor or parish life coordinator, and seek donations, mostly gift cards. Transfiguration Parish will never send you emails requesting donations, gift cards and personal information such as credit card numbers. If you receive such an email, even if the email address seems legitimate, know that it is a scam. Do not respond to the email, and report such emails to the parish office so that we can inform the Diocese and ensure the appropriate communications are sent out to warn others.
