BOTH of these numbers call me at least once a week. This is what they say:
412 - 465 - 1131 (McKeesport, PA)
"Hi, my name is Robin Dukes from the Energy Choice Program".. Blah blah.."Duquesne accounts" Blah blah... "Please call me back at 412- 430 - 0004"
878 - 201 - 0358 (Rochester, PA)
"This is Tom, is Mike there.. Sorry, I've got the wrong number".
After reading this forum, I've noticed that some people are getting the "This is Tom" guy from the Choice Energy number. So, I'm guessing they are connected.
Received same call from several several different numbers. HI this is tom is mike there? The guy sounds like he's on something. Calls several times a month. ALways a a different number,
I have received a phone call from 1-412-465-1131 McKeesport PA everyday for the last week. They finally left me a voicemail, "Hi, my name is Robyn Dukes from Energy Choice Program. My system shows that your Duquesne account qualifies for some discounts. Please call me back by the end of the business day today to verify your eligibility at 412-430-0004."
I got the same call. Given that I'm on the Do Not Call list and I've never done business with the "Energy Choice Program", this call is illegal because we have no business relationship. They try to make it sound as if they are part of Duquesne Light Company, but that's not the case.
Given that they're willing to violate Federal law to try to get me to change, I have to wonder how "legitimate" of a company they really are.
If you want lower electric bills don't sign up with an anonymous voice over the phone. Go to the one OFFICIAL site where you can compare prices -- http://www.papowerswitch.com/ This site is run by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Beware of imitations. If it doesn't say "Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission" in the header, it's not the REAL site!
I always shop for the lowest FIXED RATE price I can get with no other "fees" attached, such as having a charge for switching service or early termination. Variable prices are just that -- they will change next month and you'll have to shop all over again or you may pay a higher price.
