This may not be the right place for this topic, but since this seems to be city wide, I thought I'd post it here...
Anyone have these guys canvas your door? They came by our home last night with the most ridiculous and borderline illeagal sales pitch I've ever heard.
The conversation started with the sales guy introducing himself, then asking to see my most recent hydro and gas bill. When I asked why, he said "to make sure your protected" I asked what from and he said "rising prices"
I asked if I could have some sort of brochure or something and he told me that I had to sign to recieve the reading material in a few days.
I told him that I was happy with my provider and he replied with " we're the same company" I obviously question that saying that they weren't and he repeatedly tried to say that it's the same thing.
When the time came for prices I was a bit shocked. I was being asked to pay almost 30% more today to possibly save in 3 years, of course there is the chance that prices will drop and I'll lose money.
What really bothered me was the sales pitch, trying to say that they were the same company that I already deal with and by trying to pressure me into signing a 5 year contract on the sot without any sort of material to go over.
What if I was a senior or a new canadian with limited english? my bill would have jumped and there would be nothing I could do about it. I found it very sneaky.
Has anyone else dealt with these people and what was it like?
