Avoid Utility Bill Payment Scams

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (July 30, 2025) – The Charlotte County Utilities Department cautions customers of phone calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent the department.  

These callers may attempt to obtain credit card details, banking information or other personal data. Scammers often use spoofing, a technique that disguises phone numbers, emails or websites to make them appear as if they’re coming from a trusted source. While these messages may look legitimate, they are designed to deceive. 

The Charlotte County Utilities Department does not request personal or financial information from unsolicited calls. 

Customers who receive suspicious calls can report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission. If you believe you’ve been a victim of a scam, contact the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office at 941-639-0013.
