flag Eugene warns of scams: fake pastors and cops demand money via text; verify and report.

flag Eugene police are warning residents about two scams: a "pastor texting" scheme where fraudsters impersonate church leaders with urgent requests for gift cards or money, and a police impersonation scam using real officer names to threaten arrest and demand payments. flag Both use urgency, spoofed numbers, and emotional manipulation—especially via dating apps or church communications. flag Authorities stress that no real pastor or officer would demand money this way, urge verification through official channels, and advise reporting scams to ic3.gov or (541) 682-5111.
