From time to time we have to warn our membership about scams that have happened to some of our Open & Affirming Ministries. The scam usually begins with a collect phone call from someone who claims to be in distress and claims to be a part of GLAD. The person who calls always knows a few names, but of course is not known personally to the person who receives the call. It appears that this person gets these names from our website. We recently received an e-mail from Ron Parker, the Regional Minister in Colorado, that their office received a suspicious call, and also from the Christian Church Foundation.
Unfortunately, we recommend that no money be sent as the result of such a call without certain identification of the person calling. You can call Randy Palmer, Development and Finance Team Leader, at 724-850-8918, or Mark Johnston, Communications Team Leader, at 617-536-8185, for help in identifying a distressed caller.
