Beware of Scams
Have you received an email, letter, or other such communication asking for a large sum of money to be sent via wire transfer (or other means) for payment towards a "Rezoning Application Approval Fee?" If so, this is a scam. This communication is NOT from Georgetown County or any of its affiliated boards/commissions. If you ever receive a request for money or personal information and you aren't absolutely certain it's coming from who it claims to be coming from, please contact us to verify whether it's a legitimate request.
Scammers change their tactics frequently, and it can be hard to keep up. View every email, phone call and text message that asks for money or personal information with skepticism. For more tips on recognizing and avoiding scams, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website.
