She was trying to get me to switch electric carriers telling me they could save me money and asking to see my last electric bill. She ended the conversation by telling me my bill could increase up to 50%. I told her no, I was not interested. Immediately after I closed the door, I looked Just Energy up online and it seems to be a scam.
