Woodland Hills City issued a notice stating that the city will never request payment for city fees through a wire transfer. The city warned residents to be alert for fraudulent messages, including those sent by automated accounts or AI bots that impersonate the city to request payment.
If a person receives a suspicious payment request, the city advises not to send money, click on links, or share any personal or financial information. To verify a request, individuals should contact the City Office directly using the contact information found on the official city website. The city also requested that suspicious messages be reported to them and encouraged the community to share the notice to help protect residents.
