Church scam (915) 253-7675 asking for Apple gift cards. This was reported on BBB scam tracker, text based scam where the criminal will impersonate a pastor, priest or preacher. Here is the fake pastor's script: *Rev. \*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\* Preacher: Glad to hear from you, I would have called but I'm currently in a meeting. I need to get an Apple gift card today for some women battling cancer in the hospital but I can't do that right now because of my busy schedule. Can you get it from any nearby store now? I'll reimburse you. Thanks! ——————- ME: I’m out of town today but can get them for you and drop them by early tomorrow morning —————— “Preacher”: Alright, 2 Apple gift cards of $200 denominations each totaling $400 are fine. Thanks I need them now if possible, I'm out of the office. After purchase, I need you to open the seal then take a snapshot of each card revealing the codes. You can also type the codes out and send them to me here, so I can forward it to them easily. Many thanks!*  I texted and confirmed it, the scammer just wants gift cards and will stop texting when pressed. https://preview.redd.it/5q40c3lheq4h1.png?width=466&format=png&auto=webp&s=c72032dc5a03adbc9cde99e77cf4feea45153db0
