Fraud Alert message from Trócaire
In recent times Trócaire has ‘handled a further five cases of letters to Irish clergy for different causes and all of them have turned out to be scams. In the recent cases these scams have been getting better with accompanying forged letters from the local parish priest (even non-existent parishes) and forged letters on headed paper from the local bishop.’
‘Most of these seem to be coming from one area called Lugazi near Kampala.’ Trócaire’s representative in Kampala has discussed it with the Bishop there and he is very aware that an organised group is well set up, is targeting lists of clergy and religious, and getting better and more professional at it. There are also reports that a recent letter campaign has been targeting German clergy from the same area in Uganda.
Trócaire wishes to highlight the work it does with the local church and Irish missionaries. It also wishes to make it known that if priests want to support Uganda, Trócaire can guarantee any donation it receives will go to the purpose for which it was intended.
Always check with Trócaire first:
