posted in Universal Energy Scam: Rates Higher than Local PUC

Wow, they keep coming back! Unfortunately I'm always at work when they come by, and my girlfriend, who's been trying to finish off a really difficult paper at home (we're grad students), has been having to deal with all of it.
Three days in a row, always different people. When my girlfriend slams the door on them, they start ringing the doorbell again 30 seconds later! At this point I'd want to wring their necks if they were UNICEF or the Heart and Stroke Foundation--the fact that they're a shady company is just the icing on the cake.
I want to ask them: if you were a legit company, would you be pressuring us like this, in the face of repeated angry rejections? Bell wants me to switch to their long distance plan, but they send pamphlets in the mail, not a pack of sneering thugs to my doorstep.
Anyway, if they come again, my girlfriend is going to tell them that this constitutes harrassment and call the police.
Our window is also right above the front door of the building, which might argue for some medieval boiling oil tactics, as well. At least a water balloon.

This was in the Bloor-Bathurst neighborhood of Toronto, by the way, in case anybody nearby checks this forum.

I'm very glad to have found this forum, which has confirmed my suspicion that today's visitation was an attempted scam. It's amazing how familiar all the details are: the mile-a-minute, obfuscatory talk about deregulation, the demand to see a gas bill, the assurance that everyone else is signing up, the irritation when we didn't want to show them a bill...
I wasn't home when they rang the doorbell, but I was on the phone with my girlfriend when she answered it, so I got to hear their conversation. Pretty quickly, he actually PUSHED his way into our house and she yelled at him that he was being intrusive and that he had to leave immediately. He sulkily apologized and left, fortunately without her ever having produced a gas bill, signed or verbally agreed to anything, accepted any literature, or OK'd a follow-up call.
If he shows up again at our building and I'm around, I swear it's going to be a toss-up between calling the RCMP and bludgeoning him to death with his clipboard.
