Groton’s .gov Site Warns Residents Away From Wire-Transfer Payment Tricks
Groton’s official .gov homepage warns that invoices are not sent electronically unless prearranged and says no wire transfers.

Groton’s payment warning is short, but it is the kind of short notice worth remembering. Town invoices are not sent electronically unless that has already been arranged with the applicant. Regular payment routes are in person at 101 Conger Boulevard, by mail to P. O. Box 36, or through the online payment portals reached from Groton’s . gov website. Wire transfers are not part of the town route.
That gives a resident a simple pause point when a surprise invoice, payment link, or urgent message shows up. Do not let an email set the pace. Start again from the town’s . gov address, use the contact information or portal found there, and make sure the payment was actually prearranged if someone claims it was. If a family member, landlord, contractor, or bookkeeper is helping, have them start from the same town doorway too.
Screenshots and forwarded links can look convincing. For the Town of Groton, the no-wire rule is the bright line, and Conger Boulevard or P. O. Box 36 are the grounded payment clues. A calm reset through Groton’s own doorway is better than trying to unwind a bad payment after the money has moved.
