No one will ever get a message from a leader in this organization or any other organization asking for money, gift cards, or other things immediately. <div>However, if after reading a message confirm with the sender before taking action. Many people fall for something saying a grand child needs help immediately. Check with that grand child or their parents before taking action. Scammers put a since of urgency in the message so you will not take the time to verify.</div><div><br></div><div>Eric<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 29, 2025, at 12:11 PM, Richard Payne via Ohio-Talk <ohio-talk@nfbnet.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div>
