City of Ellisville Important Security Notice: Potential Email Account Compromise

We are currently experiencing a potential security breach with our email account. This means unauthorized individuals may have gained access and could attempt to send fraudulent emails appearing to be from us.

Please be extra, careful with any emails claiming to be invoices or requesting wire transfers, direct deposits, or any other form of monetary transaction.

The City of Ellisville will NEVER request funds to be wired.

Here's how to stay safe:

• Do not respond to or act on any emails requesting financial information or money transfers.
• Always verify the sender's email address. Legitimate City of Ellisville emails will always come from an address ending in "@ellisville.mo.us". 
• Emails with similar-sounding addresses or additional text (e.g., "planning.ellisville-mo@usa.com") are likely fraudulent.
• If you receive a suspicious email: 
  • Do not click on any links or attachments.
  • Forward the email to aneff@ellisville.mo.us and pkeller@ellisville.mo.us for investigation.
  • Contact me directly at 636-227-9660 to confirm the legitimacy of any communication.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are taking steps to secure our account and prevent future incidents.

Thank you for your vigilance.
