Energy Retailers – Fraud

Energy Retailers – Fraud

* Oshawa PUC Networks does not solicit door to door

If you are approached to sign or renew a gas or electricity contract for your home or small business, it’s important to know who you’re dealing with. Energy company salespeople must wear an ID badge and give you a business card.

Four things to remember if you are approached to sign an energy contract:

  • Always make sure you get a business card and look at the salesperson’s ID badge first
  • Don’t share personal information (i.e. your gas or electricity bill) unless you are sure you want to sign a contract
  • Carefully read the contract, disclosure statement and price comparison provided by the salesperson
  • OPUC Networks Inc does not go door to door
