A scam alert has been issued by the Town of Prescott Valley after reports of fraudulent emails posing as official town communications. Town officials say the phony emails include fake invoices and requests for wire transfers. They emphasize these are phishing attempts and not legitimate messages.
According to town staff, Prescott Valley will never ask for wire transfers via email. If you receive an email that seems suspicious, do not respond, click links, or download attachments. Instead, report the message to local authorities or the town’s IT department.
Residents and businesses are urged to double-check email addresses, look for red flags, and be cautious with unsolicited payment requests.
