City of East Lansing

⚠️WATER MAIN BREAK⚠️ A water main break is affecting traffic on northbound Abbot Road near Fire Station 1. Staff are working to resolve the issue.

City officials are warning residents to be aware of a scam involving fraudulent invoices that appear to come from City departments. The City of East Lansing takes these complaints very seriously, and they are referred to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to help protect others. Some tips for staying safe: ⚠️ Verify the sender’s email address. All legitimate City of East Lansing emails come from an address ending in @cityofeastlansing.com. Check the full email address, not just the display name, as scammers often create lookalike domains. ⚠️ Look for unusual payment instructions. The City will NEVER ask you to wire money. Payments are made online through official City portals, by mail or in person. ⚠️ Examine the invoice carefully. Typos, inconsistent formatting or generic language may signal a fake. Because some City service information is publicly available, scammers may include real details to make an invoice appear more convincing. ⚠️ Confirm the payment directly with the City. If you receive an unexpected or suspicious invoice, do not respond to it. Instead, call (517) 337-1731 to speak to the relevant department. ⚠️ Avoid clicking on attachments or links. These may contain harmful software or lead to a fraudulent website.
