Neighborhood Chat / Energy slammers in the hood
« on: November 02, 2009, 11:28:30 AM »
I was interrupted this Sunday by a representative of "Just Energy" asking to see my Con Ed bill so he could assess my savings.
Basically he was going to from apartment to apartment trying to get people to switch their energy providers.
While I am understand the theory behind choosing your own energy provider, the sneaky way that these companies go about getting customers to switch is pretty disgusting.
Anyway, I turned him away pretty quickly but then I heard him trying to convince my elderly neighbor and I confronted him asking to him to leave the building. He said that he had the right to be there based on something other which seemed wrong to me but he left eventually.
If you do a quick google seach for Just Energy scam or energy slamming, it'll bring up the info you need.
