Messages are being sent in the name of the parish priest of Vila Chã, in which the senders pose as priests and ask for money through social networks. This is a scam scheme that has been circulating online.
The parish priest of Vila Chã, Emanuel Amorim, has already warned the population about this fraudulent situation. The scammers' goal is to deceive people and obtain money illegally.
This type of scheme, in which the identity of religious authority figures is usurped to request donations or financial transfers, has become increasingly common on social media, taking advantage of the trust that communities place in their parish priests.
