Ameren Illinois has issued a warning that con artists are attempting to defraud customers and may be attempting to steal identities.
“Ameren Illinois representatives will never come to your home and demand payments or threaten to disconnect service unless they receive a payment,” said Stan Ogden, vice president of Customer Service and Public Relations. “Our field representatives will not accept payments for service.
“Our representatives will never call you and ask for personal information such as the name of your financial institution or checking account numbers.”
Identification carried by Ameren Illinois Utilities employees shows the employee’s photograph, name, employee number and an official Ameren logo.
