FYI

🚨 SCAM ALERT – TARGETING DELTA COUNTY RESIDENTS 🚨

Delta County has been made aware of fraudulent emails targeting residents with applications in our planning and community development department.

These scammers are going so far as to use REAL project numbers, COUNTY EMPLOYEE names, and email signature blocks to look legitimate—but they are NOT from Delta County.

⚠️ RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
• Emails from .com or .com
• Requests for wire transfers, Zelle, or crypto
• Instructions to “reply for payment details”
• Claims that communication must be “email only”

KNOW THIS:
Delta County will NEVER:
❌ Request wire transfers
❌ Ask for payment via email

• Instructions to “reply for payment details.”
❌ Require email-only communication

✅ IF YOU RECEIVE ONE OF THESE EMAILS:
DO NOT respond or send money.
Call us directly at 970-874-2110 to verify.

• Claims that communication must be “email only.”

Please share this post to help protect others in our community.
