Please help us spread the word about scammers!
During the past few months, City Light has received multiple reports of scammers attempting to demand financial and personal information in addition to payment with a pre-paid credit card, threatening customers with a shutoff of service.
This isn’t how we do business.
We need your help to spread this message! Let your friends, family and neighbors know that City Light will never call or email customers demanding immediate payment to avoid shutoffs. Anyone who falls behind on payments will receive at least two written notifications before the shutoff process begins.
If someone calls them demanding payment for a City Light bill, that person is a scammer. Hang up on them right away and call our Customer Care Center to report it at (206) 684-3000.
