The Department of Planning and Permitting issued warnings about fraudulent emails and notices claiming to be from their office, including one threatening eviction and another demanding payment for a nonexistent “approval fee.” Officials suspect AI may be behind the sophisticated forgeries, urging everyone to verify any suspicious communication directly with the DPP — never pay via wire, never click links, and always ask for ID. These scams echo past tactics like fake inspectors and contractor pressure, but now they’re more advanced. If you’re threatened or think you’ve been scammed, call 911 or report it to law enforcement.
