Salisbury Police warning the community of fake letters pretending to be from SBY Housing and Community Development Dept.
SALISBURY, Md.- The Salisbury Police Department is warning the community that there have been several incidences where Salisbury residents have received fake letters which pretend to be from Salisbury’s Housing and Community Development Department.
Police said the letters in question are printouts of a portion of the City’s municipal code, with certain sections underlined or starred in a slightly passive-aggressive manner.
We are told to look out for the following to ensure that the letter you received is real:
1. Printed on City letterhead
2. Includes a case number
3. Provides date which infraction was noted
4. Cites specific section of municipal code, and provides resolutions
5. Signed by the issuing Code Enforcement Officer
6. Postmarked in Salisbury
Police said if you have any reason to suspect that you may have received a fake code enforcement letter, call HCDD directly at 410-341-9550 before you undertake any corrective action.
