[ARCHIVED] Town of Fort Myers Beach Issues Alert Regarding Fraudulent Invoices for Special Event Permits

Fraudulent Invoice

The Town of Fort Myers Beach has been made aware of the attached fraudulent invoice being sent to individuals who have recently submitted Special Event Permit applications. If you receive a message that seems unusual, unexpected, or requests payment in a way that feels out of the ordinary, please use caution.

Please note:

  • The Town will never request payment via wire transfer, payment app, or other non-standard methods. Payment is only made through iWorq. 
  • Official invoices and communication from the Town will only come from an email ending in @fmbgov.com or @iworq.com.

If you receive a payment request that appears suspicious:

  1. Do not send payment.
  2. Do not click any links or open attachments.
  3. Contact the Emergency Services Department at (239) 292 - 3568 to verify its authenticity.

The Town is actively working to address this issue and appreciates your cooperation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
