ENTERPRISE
⚠️ SCAM ALERT:
is warning residents, businesses, and developers about scam emails falsely claiming to originate from city officials.
According to city officials, the fraudulent messages impersonate the City of Enterprise Planning and Zoning Department and Barry Mott, City Engineer and Director of Public Works. The emails reference a supposed HUD federal grant eligibility notification and instruct recipients to conduct all related communication strictly through email.
Officials say the emails may appear legitimate and often include the City of Enterprise logo along with an attached or linked “application.”
City leaders believe the contact information used in the scam may have been obtained from publicly available records, including recent Planning Commission meeting agendas or minutes.
The city emphasized it does not solicit grant applications in this manner and does not require official business to be handled exclusively through email.
The Enterprise Police Department has been notified and is aware of the situation.
Residents and businesses are urged to remain cautious by carefully reviewing sender email addresses, avoiding unsolicited links or attachments, and never sharing personal or financial information. Anyone who believes they received one of the scam emails or may have provided information is encouraged to contact the Enterprise Police Department.
