Thumbs up High Achievers

3 Questions

1. How many people do you know who use electricity or natural gas?

2. Do you think they would like to pay less or even get it for free?

3. How would you like to earn a residual income and potentially thousands of dollars in bonuses by referring people to this program?

To find out more, see the links below:

Thanks for looking.

My mother is not well so I am her power of attorney. I signed her up for Ambit with the understanding that she will be paying less for electricity, but to my surprise the monthly bills escalated from an average of $80 to $150. Up until this date, our bill has not been lower and we are not using any more electricity then we used before. I need to know what is my mother's rights, because I believe Ambit need to be stand responsibility for its fraudulent and misleading advertising.

These high bills are causing us a hardship and currently there is a turnoff notice on our electric service. The bill for February has outstanding payments and the total is $454.31, our bill has never been this high.

Muriel of East Elmhurst, NY

Upon singning the contract with Ambit Energy in April, 2008, I was promissed savings of at least 1% a year on energy costs, furthermore Ambit Energy had promissed 12-14% promotional savings on the first two months' bills and future competitive pricing on energy supply. As it turned out, not only did they not keep their promise, but they ended up costing me 3 times more in energy bills in the past 6 months, than the local energy supplier would have.

In September, 2008 I'd contacted Ambit Energy and demanded for them to stop supplying energy to my household, and requested a refund of frodulantly obtained moneys to no avail--they continue biling me. Ambit Energy had misrepresented themselves to me and many in the neighborhood by guaranteeing savings on energy costs, but in reality ending up costing me 3 times more the amount of the local energy market.

Ambit Energy had frodulantly billed me the amount of $1560.

Ivetta of Rego Park, NY
How much of the money that they overcharge their customers goes to the people who sign them up, anyway?

I think that most prudent consumers will agree that the best way to save energy costs is to waste less of it. Energy audits by a professional and certified auditor will go much farther...and will improve their level of comfort while increasing the sustainability of their home.

Use less, the price goes up. Simple. Companies need to make a profit, and will not cause their stocks or revenue to decrease. The only way to really save energy costs is not to use it at all.

Someone skipped class when they covered supply and demand. Decreased demand = decreased price, it's an immutable law of economics.

Not a fan of multi-level sales schemes or board SPAMMERS. Does the fact that the latest board spammer is a member mean that the online exam is too easy to pass?

Come on Steve. Didn't you get his PM? This isn't SPAM. He's not "selling" anything.

Yeah, I got the same PM. Amazing that he has 6 posts and none of them have anything to do with inspection, just this SPAM.

I suppose that once he gets enough people signed up for this crap under his name, he will have enough money to afford a website for his home inspection business. He is a "high achieving" home inspector, right?
