My dad switched his energy 2 mos ago. Some man called him 2 wks ago about an error in his account number. Dad called me to ask if there was a problem with his service. A week later , dad's current energy company was switched to another supplier.Guess who...RESCOM. I had to call pseg to find out who did this to him. My dad gave that caller no information, so i don't know how they were able to switch him and SCAM him.  The number of the caller was 860-548-5671. a land line number. out of Hartford, Conn.  Guess what...no answer.
I switch dad out.  I prefer NAP because of their dynamite fundraising network.

Now I'm a bit concerned.  I switched to Viridian a month ago. Today I got a call from "Tara" and the Caller ID said Positive Power (224-649-5515).  I told her that I had just recently changed to "Some other Energy supplier" without naming Viridian.
  She didn't know my name, and promised me UN-realistacly huge savings per KWh, PLUS bunches of other savings (RED FLAG) and kept insisting I get my account number so she could get my "Savings started".  Figuring I would just keep an eye on this, I told her I'd have to call her back and needed her number.  I was surprised when she told me 855-572-9374, and that the company was RESCOM. (The RED flag was on fire)
  Are these companies selling their customer lists to each other?
Lucky, what happened to your dad is called 'slamming'. (stealing service from one provider and switching to another without consent. It was quite fashionable in the 80's and into the 90's when long distance phone carrier wars were all the rage)
I'm wondering if going with a "green energy" provider was such a good idea and if I'm going to get slammed too?
The Viridian $ per KWh is good and they promise a blend of 20% "green" energy. The other 80% must be from burning politicians soiled underwear (highly toxic!) and marijuana convicts rowing oars in vats of un-insured - starving babies tears?
So many scams, so little protection. *sigh*

This company called me and started their speil by stating that my electric provider was being changed & it would save me lots.  they have called before & been excessively rude. this time they hung up before I could even say something.

They called again today and hung up before I could get to the phone. If it is the same caller Joe spoke of -- I got a call exactly like that a few days ago.

Only thing is they asked for a person with a different first name from mine.

THAT person apparently has bad debts and I've received her calls before and asked folks to correct their records.

Now this utility marketing caller has apparently purchased a phone list from her debt collectors???

I guess the promises to remove my name and number were ignored. I'd say report all these people to the Attorney General in your state. Federal laws are so weak because the lobbyists wrote all the legislation re: do not calls....

Called twice today - hung up when answering  machine kicked in...
must be up to no good...
