They go door-to-door - we have Constellation Energy, Just Energy, and First Energy Solutions have all knocked on my door (single family). This all started right about when our SmartMeter was installed as well. Luckily they cannot get into my backyard, otherwise I am sure they would just help themselves. They are usually younger (early 20's) kids with the same setup as mentioned in the article along with a laminated ComEd and People's Energy bill. I've research and the rate (decimal 5-digit .xxxxx) is 5 times higher than ComEd and People's Gas natively. Always stick with the native supplier, you'll gain nothing with a third party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-19416203404709489402016-10-07T07:03:03.192-05:002016-10-07T07:03:03.192-05:00Beware.
