Got a call from this number a few minutes ago. A person with a thick accent was on the line. Had to ask him several times to repeat parts of his speech. Said he was involved in rebates from Power One for my Gas Furnace. I know that Ontario Power one generates electricity, and is not involved with natural gas furnaces. Asked him to send me a letter regarding this "campaign" he was advertising. His Caller ID just had this phone number and no organization.
They call multiple times a day but never leave a message despite our having an answering machine. They call at all hours and when we do pickup, there is dead air. Next time I'm going to pick up and blow a whistle into the phone! Wish I knew how to get these calls to stop.
BEWARE! SCAM! They claim to be affiliated with the Ontario Power Authority, and offer a free assessment to get into your house. This is a lie. Once in your home, they will surely pressure sell you a furnace or new air conditioner. The claim you will qualify for a rebate, but the truth is the Ontario no longer offers rebates. This is a scamming company that 1. Defies the Do Not Call list 2. Preys on the elderly 3. Making huge profits that they dont mind paying fines when if/when busted by the CRTC for ignoring the Do Not Call list. On behalf of Ontarions, I am taking matters into my own hands. They coming to my house next week. I wont let them in, but i will snap a photo of their license plate and try to get a business card, then report them to the CRTC AND POLICE. I will post my update here next week.....look for my name "OntarioWoman." In the meantime, warn your family and friends, especially grandparents.
Correction: the website these scammers refer to is knowyourenergyscore.ca. this is a real website, but if you go to it, you will that this program did exist but has since expired, therefore u know this is a scam!!
Just got a call from this "Eco Energy". Or so they say. 1-647-558-5685
Told them they were breaking the law, and they hung up.
Reported to Do not Call list.
Does anything ever get done with these complaints????
I'm not surprised there are so many complaints about this number and Eco Energy, if it's them.
