⚠️ Scam Alert ⚠️: Be Aware of Fraudulent Planning & Zoning Emails

The FBI has warned of a nationwide scam in which criminals impersonate city and county officials to trick residents and businesses into making fraudulent payments for planning and zoning permits. These emails often include fake invoices, appear official, and may request payment by wire transfer for permit or application fees.

Please remember:
- Penbrook Borough will never request payment by wire transfer.
- Penbrook Borough does not currently accept payments through an online payment portal.
- At this time, the Borough only accepts payments by cash or check.

If you receive an email claiming to be from Penbrook Borough requesting a wire transfer or directing you to make an online payment, do not send payment or provide personal information. If you are ever unsure whether a payment request is legitimate, please contact the Borough Office (717-232-3733) directly before taking any action. Any email correspondence from Penbrook Borough will be sent from an email address with the domain "@penbrook.org."

Staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself and our community from fraud.
