Another Energy Provider, Another Unwanted Call
If you’ve ever received a call from Just Energy with a “hassle-free” offer, you’re not alone. This telemarketing campaign has been targeting consumers with retention pitches that sound enticing but often leave people frustrated.
These calls are designed to keep customers from switching providers by offering vague, undisclosed incentives. But the problem? Many of these calls are unwanted, intrusive, and repetitive.
What’s Happening?
Consumers across multiple states have reported receiving calls from Just Energy, attempting to convince them to stay with the company. The message typically follows the same script:
“Hello, I’m calling from Just Energy. We’re sad to see you go. Call us for a hassle-free offer designed just for you at 877-240-3931. Thanks and have a great day.”
