ACNA bishop’s gmail account hacked

From here:

The gmail account of the Rt. Rev. Foley Beach, pastor of the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Loganville and head of the Anglican Church of the South, was hacked and emails sent out to his thousands of contacts requesting money in his name.

[…….]

The scammers used Beach’s gmail account to send out an email from him claiming to have been mugged while in London. It claimed he had been held up at gun point and all his belongings – cash, cell phone and credit cards – stolen. The email gives a supposed hotel desk phone number in London and a request to send money to help him fly back home because his bank can’t get him the money for 2 – 4 working days.

This particular scam is quite widespread: I received a similar email, supposedly from a friend, a month or so ago.

So far, no TEC bishops have been charged.
