Scams and Tricksters - We have been warned by the Diocese that Churches and their congregations are being targeted by fraudsters, so please be alert. The latest scam is an email, purportedly from the Vicar or some other trusted Church Official, asking the recipient to contribute to a secret and discreet gift collection for a church member by purchasing Amazon Vouchers, and sending the voucher codes in reply.
Any church fundraising activity will have appeared in the Sunday Bulletin, you can view both current and past copies on the church website HERE.
There are scam emails going around purportedly from NHS about COVID vaccinations and vaccination status. You will never be asked to pay for a vaccine or to establish your vaccination status. The NHS will never ask for Bank or Card details, PIN numbers or passwords, or for documents to prove your identity.
Never expose bank or credit card details in response to an email or on the telephone to anyone who has called you, and be suspicious if they suggest you call back - you can still get caught out. Under no circumstances ever give your PIN number to anyone else - even to your bank. Never open an email attachment from an unexpected, suspicious or unknown source.
If in any doubt forward emails, or describe and detail any other approaches (e.g., by telephone/text) to: webmaster@stgeorges.church and we will advise if it is a scam. Do this before doing anything else!
ST GEORGE’S CHURCH SHOP IS COMING - OPENING 2nd NOVEMBER 2021 for just 2 weeks only
St George’s Church is holding a charity shop for two weeks in the Store 21 in Waterlooville Precinct. It will run from November 2nd-13th and be open daily from 9am -5pm excepting Sundays.
The congregation have been hoarding treasures in various attics, garages, spare rooms and sheds which will now all be available to buy. As there is so much, shoppers will find it worth their while to visit daily. There will be a vast turnover in stock with new bargains arriving all the time.
Last time we had a shop, two years ago, we found that people bought items and then gave us their old pieces that were being replaced. This was agreeably profitable and we hope it will happen again!
If anyone has anything they would like to donate to St George’s please bring it up to the shop during the times mentioned above. We will be dealing in anything and everything though would like the items to be of saleable quality. If there are any enquiries please contact Jane on 02392 263576.
