We have discovered that there are phony emails being circulated that may appear to come from employees of the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix, or someone whose name you would recognize. We have notified the authorities and have taken steps to increase our email security. Please know that the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix and its staff would never ask you to reveal sensitive information through texts or emails, nor would we ask you to purchase gift cards or other currency and send us the codes to redeem them. Please be aware and stay safe.
