The Jackson Police Department is warning residents of a potential scam involving someone pretending to be a Lutheran pastor.

In a Facebook post, Jackson police say that they received a call from a woman who says she got an email from someone saying they were Pastor Mueller of Berea Lutheran Church in Milwaukee asking for assistance.

The person who sent the email then asked the woman to send a photo of the back of an iTunes gift card with the security code scratched and revealed according to the post. The woman confirmed with the real Pastor Meuller that this was not him.

Authorities say that if someone asks for gift cards or money transfers, it is probably a scam. Jackson police also say that if you are ever unsure that they will gladly take any calls or questions.
