Can You Tell Your Local Officials From Scammers?

This is not a comment on the corrupt nature of politics, but a question.

Apparently people in Kennebunk, Maine are receiving emails from their “Board Commissioners.”

“The email claims the permit is ready and approved, but that the “Board Commissioners” just needs a payment of $4,000 via wire transfer to finish it.

“Lee Feldman, deputy director of community development for the department, said Thursday that the email also named a former board member to try to bolster its apparent legitimacy.”

But Kennebunk citizens are smart, and one reported the scam attempt.
