If you’ve recently received a call from Just Energy offering a “hassle-free” deal, you’re not alone. This week’s Spam Call of the Week highlights a widespread telemarketing tactic aimed at retaining customers through unsolicited phone calls.
While not classified as a scam, these calls are still considered spam because they are unwanted and disruptive. They attempt to persuade customers to remain with Just Energy by offering vague incentives — often without providing clear details upfront.
What You Need to Know
Just Energy representatives are reaching out to customers who may be thinking about leaving the company. The message is simple: before you cancel, call them back to learn about a “hassle-free offer.” However, many recipients report that these calls feel intrusive, especially when they come without any prior request or consent.
These spam calls have been detected across several states, including:
- Texas (TX)
- Arizona (AZ)
- Louisiana (LA)
- Colorado (CO)
- Pennsylvania (PA)
If you live in one of these areas, you may have noticed an uptick in unsolicited calls from Just Energy.
Sample Call Transcript
Here’s an example of what the message sounds like:
“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.”
While the tone of the call is polite, the unsolicited nature of the outreach — combined with the lack of transparency about the offer — is what classifies it as telemarketing spam.
