Occasionally Christian Scientists in the United States and abroad are appealed to by strangers for financial advances. Various means of obtaining money fraudulently are employed by unscrupulous persons. Some claim relationship or intimate acquaintance with more or less prominent Christian Scientists in distant fields (frequently in Boston); some pretend to be representing legitimate business enterprises; and still others present plausible offers of service for which they ask payment in advance. Other means also have been exploited.

Christian Scientists should make thorough investigation before granting requests by strangers for loans, contributions, or advances of a monetary nature, and by so doing they will aid in checking such dishonest practices.
