Scam/Fraud

Utilities Registration Service telling me I need a new energy supply as we've just moved. We have moved. The rest is, of course, complete crap and a scam. Seen other stories suggesting they can get pretty rude/abusive if you stoke them. Per Business Juice website (this isn't an endorsement of them or anyone): The Just Moved In Scam Most business energy fraud happens around the time you move into new premises. The con is an unsubtle one, it is simply pressurized selling, with 10, 20, maybe 30 calls in quick succession until your willpower fails or the scare stories you are being told force you to act. You will be told that as a party moving into a premise you must have a valid energy contract and if you don’t sign up immediately you will have your supply cut off and/or will be paying penalty rates. This is totally untrue. When moving into a premise you will inherit the obligation to be supplied, but not the contract, of the existing supplier. The existing supplier will supply you until you tell them you don’t want them to any more. As an uncontracted customer you are free to leave the supplier at any point or indeed agree a deal with them at any point. There is no pressure to act quickly. You will be placed on ‘deemed rates’ which are higher than contracted rates but not excessively so, and many suppliers will back-date your contracted rates to cover the ‘deemed’ period if you agree a deal. Always stay calm in the face of pressure. Do not fall for the tricks.

Utilities sales company, I was called by the “change of usage department” and told I needed to go over a few details and sort out the “issue” to start the account. This is just a sales company - it is not official.
