Ameren is warning customers about scammers.
They say the con artists are trying to get a hold of customer's social security numbers.
The scam is nearly identical to the one that occurred in mid-may.
The better business bureau reports this scam has affected utility customers in several states.
According to reports, the scam claims president Barack Obama is applying payments or credits of up to 15-hundred-dollars to the customer's utility bill. This is false.
The scam calls for customers to make a payment "today" by using a bank routing number supplied by the scammers, and the number appearing on the back of their social security cards as the bank account number.
According to reports, scammers have visited customers in person, posted fliers and used social media and texting to send this false message.
