New twist to international email scam targeting utility customers
Scammers are targeting utility customers with emails that appear to be monthly bills from FPL and other legitimate utilities, like Pacific Gas & Electric. These emails are bogus and may contain malicious spam. Do not open or click them and do not provide any personal information. Authorities have been notified of this scam.

If you receive an email bill from an electric utility other than FPL, it's likely a scam. Do not open or click on the email. Delete it immediately.

If you receive an FPL email bill that looks different from your normal bill or seems suspicious in any way, do not click any links. Look at the account number to verify that it is your actual account number. You can find your account number by looking at an old bill or by logging in to your account on FPL.com. If the account numbers match, then the email is a legitimate email from FPL. If they do not, delete the email immediately.

If you think you may have been a victim, report it online to the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force at stopfraud.gov.

Remember, FPL will never send emails threatening to close your account if you do not take the immediate action of providing personal information.
