• Ennis Police Warn of Fraudulent Invoices Mimicking City Commission, Urge Businesses to Verify Before Paying (hoodline.com) — Ennis businesses are being warned about fake invoices that misuse the City of Ennis Planning and Zoning Commission’s name and demand wire transfers. Police stress the city never takes payments by wire and only uses OpenGov with checks, money orders, or cards. Residents and business owners are urged to verify any suspicious bills and contact city staff or Ennis PD with concerns.
