🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

The Saddle River Police Department is making residents aware of a phishing scam targeting individuals involved with Planning and Zoning applications. Saddle River has recently been targeted by this type of scam.

Scammers are impersonating municipal Planning and Zoning officials and sending convincing emails requesting payment for permit or application-related fees. These emails may contain real property addresses, application numbers, names of officials, and other accurate information obtained from publicly available records, making them appear legitimate.

⚠️ Please remember:
• Do not send money based solely on an emailed request.
• Be suspicious of requests for payment by wire transfer, peer-to-peer payment, or cryptocurrency.
• Carefully verify the sender’s email address and domain.
• Contact the Borough directly using a known, official phone number to verify any requested fees.

If you are a Saddle River resident or applicant who has received an email or other communication you believe may be connected to this scam, please forward the information to our Detective Bureau at:

📧 [email protected]

If you have already sent money or believe you have been victimized, you should also report the incident to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

Please share this information with neighbors, local businesses, contractors, attorneys, architects, and anyone currently involved in a Planning or Zoning application.
