The city of Vallejo is warning residents and businesses of a phishing scam that has been reported from an email address falsely claiming to be from the city’s Planning Services Division.
The scam is targeting people or businesses that have interacted with the city via email, the city said in a statement Friday.
The email references building or development permits and solicits personal information. While it has been reported primarily as claiming to be from the Planning Services Division, the city warned that any communication from any city department should be double-checked.
The city advised residents and businesses not to reply to or provide personal information to any city email without contacting the city directly beforehand to verify that the email is real.
