The New Face of Municipal Fraud

In 2025, Baltimore paid over $1.5 million to a fraudulent vendor account after a scammer changed banking details in the city’s supplier system. More than $800,000 was never recovered, revealing how easily manual checks can be exploited.

Across the country, AI-generated documents, fake tax forms, and impersonation scams are helping fraudsters slip past outdated controls. These attacks drain budgets and erode public trust.
