Scam Email Targets Haddonfield Residents, Businesses With Fake Invoice

HADDONFIELD, NJ — Officials are warning Haddonfield residents and businesses about a fraudulent invoice that's been circulating this week.

The scam message claims to be from Haddonfield's Planning Board chair and requests thousands of dollars for a recent sign application that was approved, officials said.

The emails have included some accurate information and the borough seal. But the email address was wrong, with an added "@usa.com."

"This invoice is not legitimate," the borough said in an advisory. "If you receive an unexpected payment request — especially one that seems unusually high — do not send money."

If you receive an email like this, contact the department that allegedly sent it to verify.

The scammers may start sending these invoices from other Haddonfield Borough departments, officials warned.
