I have only one thing to say to people who come to my door trying to see my gas or hydro bills.
"Get off my doorstep or I'll call a cop!"
You've seen them, ringing doorbells, asking for your utility bills, trying to intimidate or scare you into signing up with their company to save you untold amount of money.
There have been tales of these people signing you up with their company without your consent. All they need is to see your bills and take down the account number and viola you're hooked. They process you just like you didn't want. Then you're stuck paying their higher rates while your neighbours are still paying the old rate.
I ask you one thing... if they're saving me money by selling me their service at a higher price than I'm paying now and their making money doing this, then how is that saving me money? Sure, they try to scare you by saying that prices are going to sky rocket over two years and you'll be paying much higher rates than if you sign up now with their company at almost double what you're paying now. I don't know what the rates are going to be in two years and neither do they. I think they're just out to make money off of fear mongering.
Fear mongering is a national pastime these days. Everyone is doing it and it works. Fear of the unknown is what they're selling and people are buying it up like the latest religion.
If it sounds fishy or too good to be true... it probably is!
