The City of Caribou has once again been made aware of fraudulent emails impersonating the City’s Planning Board and Planning Commission.
Similar to a scam reported in September 2025, these emails reference municipal permit applications and request payment of fraudulent invoices.
The latest emails contain detailed information about actual properties and ongoing municipal applications, making them appear particularly convincing.
Please remember:
✅ Official City of Caribou email addresses end in @cariboumaine.org.
✅ The City will never request payment by wire transfer.
✅ Do not respond to suspicious emails, open unexpected attachments, or send money without independently verifying the request.
If you receive an email claiming to be from the City regarding an application, permit, or outstanding fee, and you are uncertain of its legitimacy, please contact City Hall directly at (207) 493-3324.
You can also visit cariboumaine.org for official City information.
