Fraudulent emails are circulating with fake invoices claiming to be from the Town of Breckenridge Planning Commission. If you receive one of these emails, do not click any links or send payment. Please report it immediately to non-emergency dispatch at 970-668-8600.

Key things to note

• The Town of Breckenridge will NEVER request payment via wire transfer.
• Any invoice or payment instruction demanding a wire transfer is fraudulent and should be ignored.
• Scammers may use official addresses, logos, and detailed fee breakdowns to make their communications appear legitimate.
• Always verify payment requests by contacting the Town directly using official contact information, not those provided in suspicious emails or documents.

How to protect yourself

• Be cautious of emails or documents requesting urgent payment, especially via wire transfer.
• Check for signs of fraud: misspelled names, unusual payment instructions, or requests for personal information.
• If you receive a suspicious email or invoice do not respond, click links, or provide any information. Report it immediately to the Town of Breckenridge or your local authorities.

If you have been a fraud victim or need to report a scam, please report it to non-emergency dispatch at 970-668-8600 for further investigation.
