Kalamazoo, MI – The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office has issued a warning about a new email scam targeting local residents. Scammers are impersonating county officials and sending emails that instruct recipients to make payments via wire transfer for purported road repairs.
According to the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office, these fraudulent emails are designed to deceive recipients into thinking they are legitimate requests from the county government. The office emphasizes that county officials will never ask for payments through email or wire transfer. Residents are urged not to respond to these emails, send any payments, or provide personal information.
Sheriff’s Office officials are actively investigating the scam and working to prevent further occurrences. They advise anyone who receives such an email to ignore it and delete it immediately.
