The Town of Eastham is warning residents about a new scam.
The scam uses fake invoices and letters that look like official Town communications. In one recent case, the scam involved an invoice related to a Planning Board matter that used the Town's name, seal, address, official-looking information - and it demanded payment.
Officials say "Residents and applicants are encouraged to use caution with any unexpected request for payment. If you receive an invoice, letter, or payment request and are unsure of its legitimacy, please contact the appropriate Town department directly to verify it before making a payment or providing financial information."
No arrests have been made.
