New Scam Targeting Guilford Residents

Shared by the Guilford Police Department:

There is a new scam going around town and we want you to be aware of it. Scammers have been calling residents identifying themselves as employees of the Guilford Tax Collector. They are stating that the property tax check they received did not cover the full balance or that the check bounced.

They then ask for a credit card payment over the phone. Luckily, we have not had any reports of residents falling for this scam at this point.

The Tax Collector's Office will not call you to make a payment over the phone. If something happens with your check or balance, an official letter will be sent to you.

Please spread the word! Thank you for sharing and stay safe!
