Scammers are flooding Monterey residents with fake emails pretending to be from the city, claiming your permit is ready—only to demand payment for a bogus “approval fee.” These messages use spoofed domains like planning.montereyca.gov@usa.com and are designed to steal your money or personal info. The city warns: NEVER reply or send money. Verify any permit-related requests directly with the Planning Office at 831-646-3885 or Building Office at 831-646-3891. Report scams to the FBI’s IC3 or FTC, and contact the Monterey Police Investigations Unit at andrews@monterey.gov if you’ve been targeted. For official info, always visit monterey.gov or email planning@monterey.gov.
