Family Energy Scams People In New York City

Good for you, man! Every summer scammers are ringing doorbells suckering people into giving ID's or switching "energy companies" so the bosses they work for can fill their pockets with your cash. They'll always claim that they work for Con Ed or whatever Keyspan is called now or days. As soon as any homeowner has the pleasure of meeting up with these folks, slam the fucking door in their faces and call the cops. And let your neighbors know as well.

That's too bad Louiebee. You had a great thing going. Forget that this was happening way before Obama. Once you start heading down the road of tinfoil hats... Although I still say you've done a good thing exposing those assholes.

Dude So it doesn't matter that I got this from mainstream news admitting to that. I mean if they admit to it and I repeat what they again have admitted it is still tinfoil hat?

You lost me. They admitted Obama put them up to scamming? The Mainstream news found evidence that Barack gave the orders to steal SS#'s from gullible homeowners? Is Obama the Big Cheese of Brighton Beach now?

id like to just say, ive worked for these companies, and i know who the people are in the videos. i used to work along side with them. i can assure you they are not stealing peoples information. its all about listening to what they say. the problem with these companies is that they will hire anyone with a pulse. they go through alot of employees very quickly becuase lets all face it. your walking around all day in sometimes dangerous neighborhoods up and down steps and dealing with people who hate you isnt what most people have in mind.

these people work mostly stricly off commision. so some of the schmuck joe blows they hire, DO steal information, and they do try and trick you into signing cause they just want the money. its very sad, and unfortunetly true. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THIS INDUSTRY SHIT. and yes they may hire alot of everyone becuase, once again, doing this sort of job isnt easy

BUT...yes there is a but, what these energy companies have to offer can and WILL help you save if you call con edison and national grid they will tell you about the ESCOs, they are even written on your bill (national grid is on the front bottom and con ed is on the back in the little square. they are Energy Supply Companies. they usually have an IMMEDIATE SAVINGS program. which means, for the first couple months YES! you will save money, but then, you must read the finer details on your contract to cancel. i can tell you, that those two in the video, the company they work for offers a discount off national grid and con edison with NO CANCELATION FEE. so when your discount ends, cancel your free subscription and sign up with another free esco and CONTINUE the cheaper rate. there are loop holes.

i never said every one that comes to your door is going to be truthful or with a plan that best suits you, and i am in no way saying that those who steal information are doing the right thing. also, it is the responsiblilty of the customer to do some research.

and as for the anger the woman displayed in the video, you have to realize, she comes from another country, she is a SWEET HEART with a loving husband and shes just trying to make a living, and she is treated like SHIT for noother reason then because of her nationality,myself and other workers are constantly harrassed by alot of people on a daily basis becuase of the bad taste, those smucks who steal peoples information put in peoples mouth.

please understand, when someone comes up to us hastly especially with a camera, we are automatically on guard. we work in alot of dangerous places, its just how you have to be sometimes. the man in the video isnt a bad guy, its just hard when you have people hating you for reasons other people caused. please understand.

going door to door in nyc is a tough job. id like to see more people attempt it.

im sorry for the people whos information was stolen and for anyone who has had a bad experience. but i hope that this clears things up a little bit.

Congrats on your new job.

If you find you are doing things that violate your conscience and/or are illegal, hunt for a new job while you work this one.

We all have to do something.

last week someone from some energy company insisted they were one of my energy companies and ask if i wanted to save money. I"m like not interested, he insisted he is there to help me save money and is from said company. I just close the doors on him lol. they come around each year when the weather warms.
