Protect Yourself Against Aggressive Telemarketers Using FPL Logo.

State acts against aggressive telemarketers.
FPL applauds state taking legal action to stop unsolicited energy audit calls.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) filed legal action to stop an aggressive marketing scheme targeting customers of FPL and other Florida utilities.
We received reports from thousands of customers and worked closely with FDACS, customers and law enforcement officials for nearly a year to help stop the relentless solicitations, which used FPL's name and trademarked logo without authorization.
Some of the unsolicited calls claimed to be an "important message for FPL customers." The group also may have posed as employees of FPL or FPL-approved contractors in order to conduct home energy audits and sell energy-related services or equipment.
"On behalf of our 10,000 employees and 4.5 million customers, FPL wishes to thank the state and local officials who worked for many months on this operation," said Marlene Santos, FPL's vice president of customer service. "While today's action is great news, we urge our customers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious calls or visits."
If you received calls or visits of this nature, contact the FDACS Consumer Assistance Call Center at 800helpfla.com or call 1-800-HELP-FLA.
