I'm skeptical about telemarketing offers, but this one's legit! lowered my bill like they said they would. Not by much, it's true. But any savings is good.
For everyone reading this:
Energy deregulation is NOT A SCAM. In most states, it's the law since at least 1991. You can choose your own supplier of electricity and natural gas while still getting service from your utility just like you always did, and it can definitely save you some money. I know telemarketers can sometimes be persistent, but I guess that's the best way they know to get the word out. If you want to sign up or have any feedback, call 866-587-8674.
This party is calling me frequently. I do not answer, but did a search on the number and found out it is Commonwealth Edison [Chicago] calling about some energy saving program.
It is not ComEd. It is an illegal telemarketer trying to get you to switch your energy provider from ComEd to some fly-by-night company. Tell them nothing -- especially not your name or your account number.
At least one call (and hang up) each day from these idiots. i finally called them back and got this recording: "Hello. One of our agents recently called you about taking a short survey. We are sorry to bother you and we are sorry we missed you." Blah blah blah. If you were so sorry, you would have left me a message instead of hanging up!
It's too bad surveys, political calls, and charities don't have to follow the do not call list. However, I think once you tell surveyors and charity solicitors to stop calling you, they have to abide by your wishes. I think.
I have had a few calls from this company this week. Finally I answered it after about ten rings and I said "What do you want?" It was ComEd about their energy savings program. I opted out by pressing 3.
