scam bills via email from [insert well-known company name here]

Name and shame. The rest of us can't help people look out for scams if you're not going to tell us what to look out for.

I read it as the bills aren't actually from [well known company] but sent out by scammers knowing many people will get real bills from [well known company] and some may mistake the scammer's bills for real ones and pay the scammer.

It might be a particular company's name, but it's not that company. It's a scammer using the company's name. There's absolutely no point in naming them.
