Con artists strike Gulf Power customers again

Scam Alert! – Gulf Power is asking its customers to beware of people impersonating utility company employees. The scenario plays out like this: someone impersonating a Gulf Power employee contacts a customer by telephone. The caller tells the victim that their electric bill is past due and threatens to cut off their electricity if the customer does not provide a credit card payment immediately. The perpetrator then uses the card numbers to make fraudulent purchases.

To prevent this from happening to you, please remember the following:

  • Gulf Power employees will never call a customer at home or business seeking any personal information including credit card numbers.
  • Gulf Power representatives will never ask a customer for money when they visit a home or business.
  • All Gulf Power representatives carry badges with picture identification that includes the employee’s name and the company’s name and logo.

Customers should call Gulf Power at 1-800-225 5797 if they have any questions about the identity of anyone representing Gulf Power.
