The Town of Arnprior has been stung by a suspicious email scam.
It happened Friday morning when a malware e-mail appearing to originate with the municipality began circulating, requesting payment for an alleged overdue invoice.
Anyone who received an e-mail from Karen Tourangeau (ktourangeau@arnprior.ca), with the subject line “Invoice 346086 EFT Remittance Advice” with a link to payment details, should delete the e-mail immediately.
Do not respond to the e-mail, nor click on any links within the e-mail.
The Town assures residents that it will never ask for your payment details via e-mail and will not send a link for payment purposes.
If you are ever unsure about an e-mail you receive from a staff member please contact Town hall to verify at 613-623-4231.
