The Town of Saugerties has been alerted to a recent email scam where fraudsters are misusing the Office of the Receiver of Taxes' details to deceive victims into transferring funds for a supposed "minor service expense." It's essential to remember that the Town of Saugerties will never request you to cover any expenses or ask for electronic transfers or app-based payments. These deceitful emails are known as Phishing Scams, designed to mimic authentic sources and trick you into divulging personal information, clicking on malicious links, or transferring money. If an email raises suspicions, it's likely a scam. In such cases, contact the organization directly through official channels or reach out to your local law enforcement agency. Never click on links or attachments, call the provided number, or share personal information to "verify" your identity.
