Have received several calls from this ph #. Rep says they are calling from Washington Gas and offers a 10% discount for 2mos. They ask a series of questions to include our acct # and says that there is nothing for us to do, ending the statement with "okay?" DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS, do NOT agree. We called Washington Gas directly after declining the offer. Washington Gas is not affiliated w/this 3rd party company; they also advise that you will have to pay add'l fees bc the 3rd party company uses the Wash Gas line. The 3rd party rep eventually hung up on us when we asked more questions.
Washington Gas needs to post a message on their website.
these guys keep calling me, I finally agreed to talk to them to see what sort of scam they are running. They said they will give me a 10% discount on my gas bill every month. Little do they know they were calling me about my dead father's gas account. This is their website www.smartoneenergy.com. I ended up giving them a fake account number anyways. Be interested to see what happens next. They may call me to tell me that the account number is wrong. LOL. I'll jerk them around some more if they do.
