CLARESHOLM, AB – The Town of Claresholm is warning of a scam email in the community.

The email states that the Town is undergoing an “annual bank reconciliation audit” and reviewing “the company outstanding balances”.

It asks the receiver to send a list of open invoices and outstanding payments and to hold on to any payment “to avoid credit error” as a result of the alleged bank audit.
