Great. Just Energy Bozos At My Door

[smoagendash.livejournal.com]

My wife got a visit from two sales reps from Just Energy, a company that locks you into long-term energy contracts.  Their spiel is that "if your National Grid bill says that you have Basic Service, your rates are about to go up, so you better sign up now, now, now!"  And then they won't leave; they'll just stay at your door until you go get your electric bill.

The Better Business Bureau says:

BBB files indicate that this business has a large volume and pattern of complaints concerning misleading sales practices. Consumer complaints allege that door to door sales persons are misleading consumers, providing false information and using high pressure sales tactics. This company has been notified of our concerns. They have failed to correct the underlying reason for the complaints. - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/kitchener/business-reviews/energy-service-companies/just-energy-group-in-mississauga-on-17632#reasonrating

Be warned.

"And then they don't leave."

I bet if you called the cops on them for trespassing, they would. If you don't want them at your door and specifically ask them to leave, and they refuse, they're breaking the law at that point.

I used to use a spray bottle when trying to train my cats (all they learned was the spray bottle is evil). Perhaps I need a spray bottle for solicitors.
