Email Scam Using “City of Covington” Many people are familiar with internet and email “phishing” scams, and it appears that one featuring “City of Covington” is circulating locally. Recently, a number of Covington residents received a bogus email from “Message Center” under the subject line, “A thank you from the City of Covington.” The email states that the recipient has been issued a $1,000 Visa Gift Card free of charge. The email prompts the recipient to visit a website to claim the gift card, and that website then prompts the visitor to sign up for different promotions.
These emails are NOT from the City of Covington; they are a scam.
