According to the county, the scam messages are coming from addresses ending in @usa.com . Customers should only trust emails from addresses ending in @ClarkCountyNV.gov.

Genuine invoices always include the name of the responsible employee the customer is working with. The county also advises recipients not to click on links that ask for payment information.

Anyone who doubts a message they received can contact the county at (702) 455-5616 or email CPAdmin@ClarkCountyNV.gov for confirmation.
