An email that appears to have triggered a $108,000 payment from Erie County to a scam artist passed through the hands of at least four county employees.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Erie County Mark Poloncarz is advising people with appointments at the Rath Building or the Old County Hall to call ahead to see if their appointments are still happening on Friday.

"Due to the closure of many downtown Buffalo roads for Firefighter Jason Arno's funeral, most county employees who work at the Rath Building and Old County Hall are on work from home status today," Poloncarz said in a tweet

As a result, many of the division office will be closed. 

Anyone with an appointment at the Rath Building at 95 Franklin Street or the Old County Hall at 92 Franklin Street should call before heading to their appointment. 

The following street closures will be going into effect Friday morning.
