  • Phone and computer scams in 2023

    Facebook, Phone, & Mail Scams

    The saying goes, "If it seems to good to be true, it is" holds true with all the ads you see on Facebook! 

    Scammers have copied legitimate websites, then put them out there as real good deals you can't pass up, (a Kitchen Aid Mixer for $25.), or (sneakers or boots for $5.). Scammers will take lots of people for small amounts of money rather than take few people for big money. The smaller the dollar amount, most people don't want to go through the trouble of turning them in or trying to get your money back, so they get away with it. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!  



    There are so many scams out there trying to get into your computer, your bank accounts, or try to have you purchase gift cards, DON'T FALL FOR IT!


    Below is a link to the Federal Trade Commission site with details on the most recent scams and how you can protect yourself.

  • Maria Vision usa

    Maria Vision USA, a Catholic multimedia digital network that broadcasts live shows to help families, youth and individuals grow in their faith. We broadcast live Holy Mass, Adoration, the Holy Rosary, and many other programs that support the teachings of the Church. During these live shows, people call us live to give us their prayer requests and we ensure that these requests be prayed for. We also guide them to either spiritual direction, a counselor, or anyone that can help them depending on their specific needs. 

    We started in the USA a year ago and are on Direct TV on channel 262 or 89, YouTube, and most social media platforms. We have already reached 21 countries in Latin America, as well as Bosnia, Italy, Spain, and we will soon reach Poland, Uganda and India. This channel was founded under the inspiration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, and received the personal apostolic blessing by St. Pope John Paul II. Not only are we the ones working in this mission but also many Dioceses, Priests, Bishops, Nuns, and many lay people in the Catholic Church are supporting us through it.
