Was approached in Walmart asking if I would like information on lower rates than Penelec. Told them my husband pays the electric bill and it is in his name. Gave my E-Mail address and they said they would send E-mail that my husband could give the info needed, such as his Penelec account number. I told my husband about it and he said no he was not interested. When I got the E-mail I deleted it and thought that was the end until my husband got a letter from Penelec saying he changed to NRG!!! I don't see how this was possible since I never replied with his account number!!! He was very angry and called them to cancel it and find out how it was switched without his knowledge and he was told that in PA anyone in the household can change electric company!!? This is bull crap and I never said to change it, just to send info on rates. This has caused big problems and emotional stress!!! I will never stop and give the time of day to anyone again. Nothing but a scam!
