I'm posting to let people know the shady utility marketers are back, if they ever left.

Last night I had an unsolicited visit to my front door by a guy who represented himself (vaguely) as from Eversource, here to roll back my rate increase if I would just show him an electric bill. I have little doubt he was a shady marketer for an alternative electricity supplier. If he wasn't that, I don't know what he was, because he certainly wasn't from Eversource.

My phone rang just then so I used that as an excuse - I told him this call was important and I couldn't talk & closed the door in his face. So I never got who he actually represented.

I recognized the modus operandi thanks to my memory of a thread here just exactly a year ago ("Phone call from "PalmCo" wanting to change my electricity supplier"). Since that was useful to me, I thought I'd return the favor by warning those here who may be new here or have forgotten. I trust that no one here would show a bill, but it's much easier to react appropriately if you immediately recognize what's going on.
