The City of New Bern Parks and Recreation has issued a scam alert regarding upcoming events. Scammers are reportedly posing as event organizers, falsely claiming, "I’m the organizer of this event. If you want to be a vendor, contact me to register." These fraudsters then collect "registration fees," deceiving small businesses and food trucks. The City stresses that all registrations and fees are only accepted in person or through the official city website, never through personal Facebook pages, Google documents, or electronic payment apps like PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo. Residents are urged to stay vigilant. For event registration or inquiries, contact (252) 639-2901.
