Town Informs Community of Circulating Zoning Board of Appeals Scam-Plymouth 

The Town of Plymouth would like to inform community members of scammers posing as Town staff and emailing Zoning Board of Appeals applicants to solicit money.  

These fraudulent emails appear on Town of Plymouth Zoning Board of Appeals letterhead, include a Town employee email signature, and instruct applicants to complete a wire transfer to process application fees.

This is a scam to prompt fund transfers from individuals and businesses in the community. The Town of Plymouth will never request payment via wire transfer. Recipients of an invoice resembling this scam should 𝗡𝗢𝗧 provide any information or send any funds to any address as indicated in these letters.  

Community members who receive similar emails that they believe are not legitimate should:

If you receive an invoice that appears to come from the Town of Plymouth, please call the Town of Plymouth IT Help Desk 508-747-1620 ext. 10411.

Scammers are becoming increasingly convincing and may use real names, addresses, departments, and legitimate-looking documents to make their emails appear authentic. Please be mindful and exercise caution when interacting with unexpected emails.
