The City of Monroe is advising residents to be cautious of fraudulent emails and invoices that are impersonating City boards and commissions. Recent complaints involve scam messages that appear to come from the Planning Commission or the Board of Adjustment and request that individuals wire money to avoid delays in their cases.
These messages are not from the City of Monroe. The City does not issue payment requests in this manner and will never contact residents by email, phone, or text to demand immediate payment, request wire transfers, or seek personal financial information for a public hearing.
Anyone who receives a suspicious invoice or message should not respond or provide payment. Instead, residents should:
• Reach out to the Monroe Police Department to file a report
• Avoid clicking links or using phone numbers provided in the suspicious communication
The Monroe Police Department is investigating reported incidents. We encourage residents to remain alert and reach out if they have any concerns.
The City of Monroe is committed to protecting residents and ensuring clear, safe communication about public services.
