The City of Morgantown addressed Wednesday fraudulent emails being sent to individuals involved with pending development applications or zoning map amendment requests.
According to a press release from the city, the fraudulent emails attempt to acquire payment for invoices related to these requests. The Department of Development Services and the Morgantown Planning Commission did not issue these emails or invoices to applicants, nor does the City of Morgantown accept payments using this method.
Any emails of this nature are a scam aimed at acquiring financial information. Do not reply to these emails or disclose any personal information.
Applicants may either pay fees through the Morgantown Cityworks Portal using their account information, or in person through Morgantown’s finance department. To access the portal, use https://app03.cityworksonline.com/CLIENT_MorgantownWV-Public.
If you have any questions regarding zoning map amendment requests, contact the Department of Development office at 304-284-7431.
