The City of Columbia Tennessee warn residents about scam.

The City of Columbia has been made aware of a scam targeting local residents and businesses. Individuals posing as representatives from the City’s Development Services Department are sending fraudulent letters and emails that include official City logos and request payment via wire transfer.

The City of Columbia will never request payment through wire transfer, and all legitimate communication from the City will come from an @columbiatn.gov email address.

Examples of the scam communications are provided below to help the public recognize and avoid falling victim to these fraudulent requests.

Anyone who receives a suspicious invoice or message claiming to be from the City is encouraged to contact the Development Services Department directly at 931-560-1530 to verify its legitimacy.

The City urges all residents to stay alert and share this information with others.
