Electric Aggregation and Scammers

Solicitors – and possibly outright scammers - have reportedly been out and about following an announcement that there will be a new delivery company for electric aggregation contracts in the new year. 

 

The pitch has the solicitors asking the homeowner to see their Ameren bill to "make sure they are getting the lowest rate possible." But if you give them any information, Citizen's Utility Board spokesman Jim Chilsen says you can be victimized by a technique called slamming.

 

 

Chilsen says these solicitors are known to use high-pressure sales tactics. Law enforcement reminds you are under no obligation to speak to these people and reminds if you have a "No Solicitors" sign on your property, those pitching their products are legally required to leave you along.
