Unsolicited phone call on my land line - firstly an English girl spoke to me about my current electricity charges with AGL. Then Thomas (who is definitely an Irishman) spoke to me at length. I was somewhat wary about giving personal details such as my DOB, driver's license number & expiry date & my account name. However, he was able to give me my home address from NMI meter number. Hopefully I have re-signed with AGL for another 2 years for an increased discount (12% to 14%) for domestic power & furthermore a 10% on our gas supply. Time will tell.

I received this phone call, but from (02) 8310 0121. The first person who spoke to me was English(british), then she put me onto another Australian woman.

I think I may have been scammed, because although initially I thought this was a scam, the second woman convinced me me she was a legitimate broker. However now after searching the web for information on this company, I can't find any (except for a company by this name in England) who ARE legitimate. Unfortunately, I told the woman my energy provider and address. I think this was a mistake. She told me my electricity rate, then told me I had a good deal, because the only one lower than me was .......

I said ok, and she was satisfied and hung up. I wonder what will happen now? I will be keeping an eye out in my letter box for unsoliced invoices.

If this is a scam they are very good - knowing when my next electricity read is, and what my rates are.....
