SCAM ALERT

Town Hall received a call from a concerned resident after receiving a permit invoice and wire transfer instruction.  

The subject line of the email was "Notice of Outstanding Application Approval & Review Fees - Action Required". 

The email address was from planning.chestertown_gov [at] usa.com (planning[dot]chestertown_gov[at]usa[dot]com)

The emails claim to be from the “Bradley Moore, Zoning Administrator”,  demanding that payment be made prior to tonight's Historic District Commission meeting (12.03.2025).

REMEMBER:  The Town of Chestertown would never ask you to wire your payments.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:  If you received a questionable invoice, DO NOT pay or engage with the potential scammers. Contact Town Hall at 410-778-0500 and verify the invoice.
