La VERGNE, TN (WGNS) - The City of La Vergne is sounding the alarm about a scam email that’s making the rounds and landing in inboxes across the community. The message appears to come from Julie Wilson and uses the subject line “La Vergne Police Department,” which is giving it just enough credibility to fool an unsuspecting reader. City officials say the email is not legitimate and was not sent by anyone associated with La Vergne government or the police department.

Residents are urged to delete the message immediately. Don’t open it, don’t click any links, and don’t download any attachments. Even responding to the email could put your personal information at risk. The city says this is a compromised account situation, and the safest move is simply to remove the message from your inbox.

For anyone who has already interacted with the email, officials recommend taking a moment to think about what information you may have shared. If you clicked a link or provided any details, it’s a good idea to reach out to your organization’s IT support team—especially if you’re using a work device or a business email account. They can help determine whether any follow‑up steps are needed to secure your information.

The La Vergne Police Department wants residents to know they are not sending out emails of this nature and will never ask for sensitive information through an unsolicited message. As always, if something feels off, trust your instincts. Scammers often rely on urgency, official‑sounding subject lines, and familiar names to get people to act quickly.

City officials will continue monitoring the situation and encourage residents to stay alert. In the meantime, deleting the email is the best way to keep your information safe and prevent further issues.
