Ameren Illinois is warning that there has been a recent spike in scam attempts in the area.
Brian Bretsch from the utility company says that they’ve seen these attempts in Pekin and Galesburg over the last several days and as many as 75 customers have called Ameren’s 800-number and five customers were duped out of a total of $3,100.
According to Ameren’s Senior Vice President of Customer Experience Mary Heger, an increase in scams including new and aggressive tactics that make it more difficult for customers to spot a scam, have been seen and customers should be on high alert for them. “Customers should especially be on high alert and should not download cash apps such Zelle to make immediate payments.”
