Hernando County Government Phishing Email Alert
It has been brought to the attention of Hernando County Government that a phishing email is going around appearing as if it were on behalf of the Hernando County Planning and Zoning Commission from the email address planning.hernandocounty@usa.com. This email is not a legitimate Hernando County Government email address.
This particular email states “to ensure that your rezoning request moves forward, we kindly request that you settle the attached invoice for the county compensation fee.” The email then proceeds to ask for confirmation of payment and includes multiple attachments of false invoices with the County logo. Please be cautious and do not open attachments from any unknown email addresses, contacts, or emails that seem suspicious and report it to Hernando County Government immediately.
This email did not come from Hernando County Government and has been directly reported to multiple levels of law enforcement. Hernando County Government does not send banking information via email and would not ask for transfers of large sums of money.
If you are questioning whether you received a phishing email, please contact the Hernando County Government at 352-754-4000 to verify if the information you received was accurate.
Please note: Neither the Hernando County Government nor the Planning & Zoning Commission specifically asks for personal information or sends sensitive information via email.
