FRAUD ALERT: Please note that the City has been made aware of attempts by bad actors to fraudulently mimic City invoices and redirect any payments made to a scam account.  BEFORE PAYING ANY INVOICE, PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE INVOICE IS GENUINE BY CALLING 305-663-6343 TO CONFIRM.  Please also check the sender’s email address.  City invoices will only come from the email extension @somifl.gov.  A sender with any other email extension is not coming from the City, no matter how official the email may seem or even if it appears to include the City’s logo or names of officials.  Please be advised that any payments made to a non-City of South Miami account cannot be recouped by the City, will not be credited to the application, and cannot be refunded by the City.  We regret that this fraudulent activity is occurring, but are confident that, through increased vigilance and cooperation, we can limit its impact.
