Beware the “Integrity Scam Artist!”

Periodically, an unknown person attempts to scam Integrity members, Integrity chapters, diocesan offices, and Episcopal/Anglican congregations throughout North America by telephone.  [More than one person may be engaging in the same scam.]  The perpetrator generally pretends to be an Integrity member in need—sick, beaten up, or robbed.  For plausibility, the perpetrator often assumes the name of a real Integrity member.  He usually asks the victim to wire money to him at a Western Union office.

Be aware that caller ID is not always an accurate indicator of the scammer's physical location.  Some VoIPs "mask" unlisted or blocked numbers by displaying a standard but nonfunctional number on the recipient's caller ID.

Please encourage your local members and diocesan/parish offices to be wary of this scam.  Individuals who are solicited may wish to file a report with their local police department.

Other LGBT faith organizations have been plagued by a similar scam.  Unfortunately, we have not been able to persuade the FBI to investigate this case because of the small dollar amounts involved.
