Enterprise, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Enterprise is warning developers and residents to watch out for a new scam involving fake invoices sent by individuals posing as city officials.
Scammers are reportedly using public information from Planning Commission agendas to send fraudulent invoices — some totaling over $5,000 — and urging recipients to pay via wire transfer. The fake requests have been made through phone calls and emails, pressuring targets to act quickly.
City officials say no one should send payment without first verifying the charge. To confirm the legitimacy of any city-related fees, contact the Engineering Department at (334) 348-2671.
Anyone who receives a suspicious invoice or payment request is asked to report it to the Enterprise Police Department. Authorities urge residents to share this warning to help prevent others from falling victim.
