The District (VCDD) Warns Public of “Gmail” Scam Targeting Residents

The Villages – Community Development Districts (VCDD) are alerting the public to a growing scam where individuals are using a “Gmail” email address to make it appear as if emails are coming from VCDD District Manager Kenneth Blocker, with the intent to deceive and solicit personal information. 

Please be advised that we NEVER use Gmail accounts for official business communications. All legitimate correspondence from our organization will ONLY come from email addresses ending with @districtgov.org.

Important actions:
  • Never provide personal information via email, unless you are certain you are speaking with a legitimate VCDD representative. Use caution when sending any sensitive information via email.
     
  • Verify the senders identity by calling the official VCDD number listed on the agency website. 
     
  • Report suspicious emails to The Villages Community Development Districts (VCDD) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to resolve the situation. We take this matter very seriously and are working to investigate and address the situation.

For more information, please contact Customer Service Department by email or at 352-753-4508.
