I received a very similar call from this company. They told that the device is required by the government as I pay more than the average for my electricity. Here is the website address http://powersavercanada.com/powersaverworking.htm 
They asked for visa card details to proceed the order.
The caller name was Josh Mclaire - [email protected] -email that does not exist Tel # 1-613-699-6193 ext 333

After reading this post I called them and cancelled my order. But they still wanted to charge me for the shipping cost, as the order was already sent.

Never in the email they mentioned that it is a telemarketing, and all the time told me that it is a government requirement.

I received the call today from this number...
yes yes telling me to buy the device to save on electrical bill...
i was like... ya, i will discuss with my spouse and get back to you... give your name and number...
Is there any truth to this at all???

Received a call from this number and the man stated he was from "hydro".  I knew it was a scam since the area code was from Ontario and we live in Manitoba.  He spoke with a heavy accent and it was very noisy in the background.  Told them not to call back and hung up.
