The Town of Perth is alerting residents about a scam involving fake emails claiming overdue property taxes. These fraudulent emails urge recipients to make payments via e-transfer, but they are not from the town.
The Town of Perth emphasized that all official tax notices come from a “perth.ca” email address. Property taxes for the town are due at the end of September.
Residents are advised not to respond to suspicious emails or send payments. Instead, they should contact the town directly to verify any claims by calling 613-267-3311 ext. 2230 or emailing taxcollector@perth.ca.
The town is encouraging everyone to stay cautious and share this information with others to help stop the scam. Your security is a priority, and the town is taking steps to keep the community safe.
