U.S. Energy Savings Corp. Sends out sales people door-to-door, misrepresenting themselves to be from Con-Edison. I found out online, after the fact, that they typically target minority neighborhoods, especially those with non-English speaking populations.
They would say that they are from con-edison/whatever your energy company is, and ask to see your bill. When you sign up, thinking you're saving money you actually are charged more than your old company. They have accumulated numerous complaints in the BBB, many times more than their competitors.
They came to my house and told my wife that I had chosen their company to do business with and tricked her into signing a 5 year contract (I was able to cancel.) Several weeks later, they came again and told my mother that they were from con-edison and asked to see our bill. They have also stopped at all my neighbors' and my in-laws' places using the same trickery.
Be careful. You could end up losing a lot of money. They only offer 4 and 5 year contracts, with only a 3 day grace period to cancel. After that, they got you.
