Greek Orthodox Archdiocese warns of fake email impersonating Archbishop Makarios of Australia

·

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (GOAA) has issued a warning to the public after becoming aware of deceptive messages being sent from a fraudulent email account impersonating His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia.

The fake account, using the email address myofficreplymail409@gmail.com, claims to be from the Archbishop and is part of an identity theft scam.

The Archdiocese has urged recipients of any communication from this fake email to ignore them and, in general, exercise heightened caution, carefully assess the content of any such messages and, under no circumstances, provide personal information if requested. If deemed necessary, they may contact the offices of the Archdiocese by phone for verification.

The Archdiocese has confirmed that it is working with relevant authorities to investigate the case and prevent further incidents of identity theft.

The warning highlights the importance of staying alert to online scams and protecting personal information in the digital age.
