Fraudulent invoices emailed to Carson City customers
The Carson City Community Development Department is advising that someone is sending falsified invoices to customers and requesting that the funds be wired to a bank account. The invoices are sent by email, and the sender impersonates a member of the City’s staff.
According to Community Development Director Hope Sullivan, “We will never ask anyone to wire funds to an account. The invoices are fraudulent. If you are uncertain as to the legitimacy of an invoice, please call the office at 775-887-2180.”
This matter has been referred to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.
