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.
HOUSTON COUNTY: This is a post from a Houston County citizen concerning the weather Sunday and the lack of response.
It appears there were trees across the roadway and a Houston County Commissioner reported to them the county would not respond after dark. The FACEBOOKK writer reported neighbors removed the trees from the roadway and cleared it. There is no mention if county crews were dispatched and barricades placed for the tree to alert motorists.
But the nieghbors cleared the roadway and Bobby Shelley with Wiregrass Electric responded, after hours, and connected power. WIREGRASS ELECTRIC is great in taking care of their customers.

SUNSET TIME was at 5:11 PM. At 5:49 PM on Sunday Houston County 911 dispatched Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department to 1232 Junction Road to “a pine tree in roadway across both lanes”. The members of Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department responded, some 45 minutes AFTER SUNSET to the tree in the roadway yet Houston County Commissioners informed residents that Houston County would not responded atfersunset.
Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department removed the tree from the road.
But all we hear from the Houston County Commission is “accountability” for the fire – rescue who donate their time and energies to assist the people in the community. But those paid, Commissioner $ 33,000.000 a year plus cost of living raises, $ 250.00 a month auto allowance, vested in Alabama State Retirement in 10 years of service, and county crews are not responding after hours. VOLUNTEERS, no compensation only critisism and you need to be more accountable.
BY THE WAY, only 3 of the 5 Houston County Commissioners attended the Houston County Commission Meeting on Monday. And the agenda had one item, selling some vehicles at the auction.
DOTHAN: 12:25 PM RSN reported on a grave of a United States Veteran located in the cemetery on Montgomery Highway and Montana Street. The cemetery is under the management of the City of Dothan.
Someone has since done a TIC TOK on the cemetary.
We were informed the City of Dothan contracts for the grass cutting with WRC.
We checked Friday and nothing had been done. RSN checked this morning and a metal plate has been placed over the hold in the vault. Unknown if concreted over and unknown who if repaired but it is a start the metal plate has been fixed.
While the grass cutting is under contract with WRC it is still the responsibility of the City of Dothan General Services to make sure that WRC is fulfilling the contract and the cemetery is kept up. The City of Dothan was upset of RSN coverage but sorry, this was not accepatable.
But wanted to update the City of Dothan or someone is working on the grave. They did not Friday but someone has today.
