🚨 Fraud Alert for Middleborough Residents
Residents are receiving fraudulent emails from a sender impersonating Town department heads and Select Board members. These messages reference permit applications and include an attached invoice requesting thousands of dollars via wire transfer. The sender uses the domain .COM, which is not associated with the Town of Middleborough.
Although some residents have recently submitted legitimate applications, these emails are not from the Town, and the signatures were falsified.
Key reminders:
• The Town never requests payment by wire transfer.
• If you receive an unexpected payment request, contact the Town directly to confirm.
Stay alert! Scammers are referencing permit applications to make their messages look legitimate!

Residents Reminded to Celebrate the Fourth Safely; Fireworks Are Illegal Statewide: As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, we would like to remind residents to celebrate safely and note that the recreational use of fireworks is illegal in Massachusetts.

While the Fourth of July is meant for celebration, residents should celebrate safely. If you are attending a party, remember to drink responsibly and never operate a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If swimming, ensure that no child swims alone, and be mindful of changes in open-water conditions, such as currents or cold water temperatures. When boating, always wear a life jacket.

Additionally, fireworks should be left to the professionals.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, there have been more than 550 fires and explosions involving illegal fireworks in Massachusetts in the past five years. Six firefighters were injured in these incidents, and damages were estimated at nearly $1 million.

The possession, use and sale of fireworks without a professional license is against the law in Massachusetts and punishable by confiscation, fine or imprisonment. Fines range from $100 to $1,000, and some violations could carry a one-year prison sentence.
