Man I’m so angry and upset.
TLDR: Josh got scammed by lying door knocking reps switching electricity supplier.
I can’t believe Josh got scammed in March by door knocking sales people into switching electricity supplier to Nordic (yes notoriously). The sales rep actually claimed they work for Arcadia energy. They didn’t mention a word about Nordic. I don’t know what Josh was thinking at the time, because he told me not to trust strangers that come to our door, but he just somehow believed them and handed them the electricity bill (all they ever need to switch your supplier).
And Josh didn’t even tell me. A few weeks ago I saw him putting in credit card number on some website called Arcadia so I asked if he was buying more shoes 🤣 and he told me about Arcadia so I did some research. It didn’t look bad so I just let it slip.
Fast forward to last Friday. Josh sent me the Eversource bill which is $1100 for the past month. He didn’t usually do that, he’d just pay for them. But it is so high that he was surprised so he sent me to look at. We did use more energy compared with the same period last year. But a second look at the supplier rate caught my attention. It was almost doubled from $0.14 per kWh to $0.27. I asked him to send me all the bills this year and the supplier was switched from Boston Municipal program to Nordic three months ago. The rate was close to the municipal program for the first two months so we didn’t suspect a thing. But now it’s almost doubled. I started comnecting the dots and concluded that Josh got scammed back then.
