The City of Midland is warning residents about fraudulent emails that appear to come from city departments and request payment for invoices. According to the city, these emails have been sent under the guise of the City of Midland – Development Services, Planning & Zoning.
Officials emphasize that all legitimate communication from the city will use the @midlandtexas.gov domain. Residents are advised not to click on any links or open attachments in suspicious emails.
“If you receive a fake email, do not click any links or open attachments. The following is a link to the City of Midland – Development Services website for contact info, forms, etc.: https://www.midlandtexas.gov/1258/Development-Services
Please stay safe and share this alert to help keep everyone informed!”
The city highlights its commitment to integrity and innovation as part of its core values, which are detailed on its official website. These principles guide municipal services and efforts to enhance community well-being.
