Scammers target local officials with sophisticated email scheme
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a concerning rise in sophisticated email scams targeting local projects. Jeff highlighted an incident where an email, purportedly from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), requested confirmation of bank account details. The email was identified as a scam by Jen Scannell, who wisely sought verification before responding. Jeff emphasized the increasing sophistication of these scams, noting that a neighboring town had fallen victim to a similar scheme.

The meeting also addressed scheduling changes, with members agreeing to reschedule a meeting from the 14th to the 15th of next month to accommodate a member's family visit. The committee expressed flexibility, ensuring that all members could participate.

Additionally, the committee approved a single invoice from Vertex for $7,718 for the month of June, which passed unanimously. Minutes from a previous meeting were also approved, with one member abstaining due to absence.

The discussions underscored the importance of vigilance against fraud and the collaborative spirit of the committee in accommodating members' needs while maintaining operational efficiency.
