MARION – The City of Marion says it has been made aware of individuals going door-to-door, falsely claiming to represent Homefield Energy, and persuading homeowners to opt out of the Homefield Electric Aggregation Agreement. The city posted on its Facebook page that these individuals are not affiliated with Homefield Energy.

The city says before signing any documents, please thoroughly review all materials presented to you. As always, ask to see the solicitor’s official city permit. If you feel unsafe, threatened, or encounter a solicitor that appears to be acting fraudulently, take note of their appearance and their vehicle’s details, then immediately contact the Marion Police Department’s non-emergency number. It’s 618-993-2124.

The city maintains an up-to-date list of permitted solicitors and their respective companies on its website under the Community section.
