The Town of East Hartford and the East Hartford Police Department are warning the public about a scam involving fake invoices being sent to individuals and businesses with pending permit applications. These fraudulent invoices claim to be from the Town and request payment to move applications forward, affecting various types of permits such as amusement, building, zoning, and planning.
Scammers are using publicly available details including names of town staff, members of boards and commissions, and accurate addresses to make their letters appear official. These tactics are being used to deceive recipients into believing the invoices are legitimate.
Below is a sample of one of these fake invoices. If you receive a suspicious invoice or believe you may have been targeted, contact the East Hartford Police Department immediately.
