ESCANABA, MI— Escanaba officials are investigating a possible scam.
The City has received reports of a scam targeting individuals who have applied for zoning permits requiring review by the Planning Commission or Zoning Board of Appeals.
Someone is sending fake invoices by email telling residents to pay them via wire transfer. The fraudulent invoices use the City’s official logos and claim to come from the Clerk’s Office.
