DO NOT give them any info as this is a phishing scam, plain and simple. The caller identifies him/herself as a representative of Verity Energy USA, and then asks if you noticed the stuffer in your last PPL bill offering a KWH/hr rate reduction. They then try to get your account info. I responded that I was at work and could not review my bill at that time, and asked that they call back. I Googled them and no such company exists. If they DO exist, they are certainly not affiliated with PPL. When trying to call them back, you get a canned recording every time about reaching the "Department of Energy Procurement." There is no mention of Verity or PPL in the message, believe it or not. (They must use several company names for this scam.) You are then prompted to enter an extension. All entries lead to your call being cut off immediately UNLESS you decide to talk with sales. (ext. 3) A sales rep then comes on trying to pitch the same scam.
I have been receiving numerous telemarketing calls from various energy companies and they call several times a day despite my being on the DO NOT CALL list and telling them to remove my number from their list. One company listed as phone number in Mystic CT 860-245-6275, when I answer its complete silence, no human is on the line and when i call back it rings once and is silent.
This is PHONE HARRASSMENT and it needs to be stopped.
Some of you a complete idiots. You just talk a company down that you know nothing about? Verde Energy is completely legit, and in no way a scam. People just make stupid statements with know actual knowledge whatsover. Congress recently passed a law allowing people in certain states to choose their own electric supplier, do some research before you just start making a fool out of yourself. And as for the people who think they are just going to hook you then charge more, you sign no contract of any time and can cancel with no consequences whatsoever at any point. So there u go for anyone who is wondering what it's about, look into it and get your facts straight before u slander a good company. It has an A rating by the BBB and only helps people other than maybe annoying people sometimes
Just wanted to add 856-499-0020 to the Verde energy spam results here. Same as other posts here but the number showing on my phone is 8564990020. When I did a callback on this it was a telemarketer. It said our marketing department has been trying to reach you (a recording)
