Ameren Bill Verification door-to-door??
 
I just had someone come to my door with an ipad, no uniform or identification, telling me that he needed to verify my information for "next year's Ameren."
 
I got a really weird vibe from the guy... I lied and told him that I already took care of it online and he said "Hey, that's great" and walked away.
 
Call police?

I would also call Ameren and ask if they have someone going door to door doing that. I am sure if it is false, they would like to know.

AMEREN would have had ID at minimum. Once they get account number they switch you what ever company they are working with even if rate is not lower your stuck for around 90 days to get it worked out if you even notice. Which is what they bank on most folks just cut check and move on with bill.

I always ask for ID. And even then I ask for a phone number I can call. Right there on the porch. And the person had better be driving the proper utility vehicle.

I never answer the door unless I recognize the person or vehicle.
Nothing good come from door to door people!

@Sophie Yes ...................Many have been arrested for taking items just because its out side. One poor lady had a fridge stolen right off her front porch. She took it outside to clean it out and wash it. She left and went to the store and poof it came up missing.
 
Not good when your fridge goes bad and you get a new one and it comes up missing

I have learned my lesson!!! If they are out in neighborhoods or inside other businesses DO NOT talk to them. Took me almost 3 months to clear up stupid cable company mistake.
