SCAM ALERT

October 22, 2026 

****SCAM ALERT ***** 

 THE TOWN OF PROSPECT LAND USE OFFICE, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS, AND INLAND WETLANDS COMMISSION WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO SEND MONEY VIA A WIRE TRANSFER! 

DON’T BE FOOLED! Scam Artists and BOTS scrape municipal websites for application and notification information, including details on approvals and permit process forms. They take pieces of legitimate letterheads, logos, commission members’ staff names, and titles, and combine them into realistic emails that request payment and/or attach invoices. 

What to do: 

STOP – Ask yourself: Was this expected? Is the amount excessive? 

CHECK- The email address carefully. SCAMS use @usa.com or similar.  

READ – Carefully for proper grammar or vernacular. 

ATTACHMENTS- Do not open attachments or links, and do not reply to a suspicious email. 

THE TOWN OF PROSPECT AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES – do not request wire transfers.  

When in doubt, CALL Town Hall!
