503-703-5596

Same story here - she calls and asks for the pastor or elder and is looking for money.

Laura Miller 503-703-5596 went through our church directory and got to me and gave me her story. I told her I would talk with the other elders and call her back in the process of doing that I called the Columbia County Sheriff's Office where she was at and they said we have a program with that motel we can help her. So I gave them the info and called Miller back and she got VERY upset and hung up on me. I believe as others have said this woman is just trying to get money not help.

Received two calls a week apart from this lady. Without stating who she is or why she is calling, she asked to talk to the pastor. (Sounded like she wanted or needed something except I'm the guy to talk to for that). Both times I told her he's not available. Both times she hung up on me. I found her number here only to discover this is her scam. Beware.

Linda Miller, same stealing from charity and churches has made it to Washington State

Same story...a few weeks ago a "Laura Miller" called a church of Christ in Albany, OR asking for help with a "small need". Someone from the church there asked me about it and I found her number on this website. Then, just a few minutes ago, she called my number and left a voicemail asking for an elder or deacon. I called back. At first I did not know it was her, but I could infer from the tone of her voice and the "smoothness" of her delivery that this was not legitimate. Then I also remembered her name, from before. I said, "I think I've heard about you, calling around and giving this story." She immediately replied, "No, you're a liar. You're a wolf in sheep's clothing. Never call me again."

Called twice today first seeking payment for a night in a hotel in Bellingham, WA, then for a ride to anywhere she would be safe as her car is broken down at the hotel. She was unwilling to be brought to a shelter. Story regarding house sitting was same as others have posted; she is expecting a job offer tomorrow.

Helped with a hotel room in Bellingham, WA. Very similar story ... Current story is that her car was towed because of a transmission issue.

I just received a call from her. She evoked the Samaritan's story and that it was "such a small need', but would not tell me what it was. I called her back after finding her number here. I left a message mentioning that other people have not been please with her and we would not be giving her anything. She called right back, but I didn't answer and she did not leave a voicemail. I grieve that some of you were abused by her and grateful for your stories so others will not be.

Thank you for this. I'm a pastor in Centralia. She left a number for a call back. My gut told me to google her number and it led me here. I'm happy to help with my discretionary fund, but it's getting low and I want to help those who need it.

People like this, take away from those who are actually in need.
