This ignorant jerk has been calling repeatedly for about a week. I told him we were not interested in lowering our Nicor Gas bill and he got upset that I didn't but his pitch. We asked him to take us off his list which he did not. He called again and I told him to take us off his f@$&*+g list and hung up. He called again and threatened to be in my living room. I don't think he should be in sales,in fact he shouldn't be dealing with other people at all. I don't know what company he works for but it's not Nicor. Do I have to disconnect my phone to stop this crap?

Got a call from this number, they wanted me to switch my gas service but represented themself as an employee of my local utility company; they wanted to help me save money all I had to do was confirm my information. I told her that I had to get my information and she offered to call back, I contacted my utility company to ask if they had switched companies - they had not, when she called back I told her that I checked into it and would not be switching.

This is a scam, they are misrepresenting themselves. Once you give them your account information you will be switched; you may find a larger bill than if you had not. There are reports of companies going door-to-door tricking individuals into switching; thinking they will pay less, they do, only to find their bills several hundred dollars more.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

When gas rates are down in off-season I tend to get more of these calls.  They attempt to get you to pay a flat payment that -- though may be a bit less than your winter bill -- is at a higher unit rate.  If you switch, you wind up paying significantly more over the course of a year.
