Staff warns applicants: village will not request wire transfers
Summary
Planning staff issued a public advisory that the Village of Pleasant Prairie will not request payments via wire transfer and asked applicants to verify any payment requests with village staff to avoid fraud.
Planning staff used correspondence time at the start of the meeting to warn applicants about a continuing scam involving requests for wire transfers. "Just wanted to do our typical, news release here that the village won't be requesting any payments through wire," the staff member told commissioners and attendees.
Staff urged applicants and others to verify any payment instructions with village staff before sending funds and noted the village is continuing to monitor related incidents. The advisory was presented as general guidance to applicants and the public; commissioners thanked staff for the reminder.
