Power Stream Rebates
"Recently a young chinese student came to examine our Power Stream bill saying that we are all entitled to a rebate. He wanted to see my bill to confirm that I did not receive any rebate. I reluctantly gave it to him. He then proceeded to write the account number and asked to sign. I asked him for his badge - he said he forgot it in the car down the street. It was those days when the temperature was over minus 30, so I felt sorry and did not ask him to go get it. Learn a lesson from this all of you. No badge, no discussion.

As it turned out I signed it with agony, still questioning what rebate as I am almost up to date on these things. Beside my signature I wrote -NO NEW RATE as the fellow did not want me to strike out the new rate clause showing on the form. The rate is higher than I am currently paying. He said that that was referring to new customers. He left without giving me a copy of that contract.

Well afterwards, I had my doubts and called Power Stream. It turned out that my hunch was right. They are going to sign me up for new rates (higher than PS). But there is a comfort.... Power Stream does not transfer you until you confirm with them directly. These crooks as supposed to call me to confirm this week and have not, I am alerting you don’t fall into the same "scam" like I did. Respond to Power Stream when they contact you."

Strangers in the Neighbourhood

"I just wanted to let you know that while my girls were playing out front Fri. evening around 8:30 - 9:00 pm a man in an older white 2 door Honda Civic stopped in front of the house and called them over ... they immediately came up to the house. I was just opening the door to call them in while this was happening. As I started to come outside, he drove off.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a licence plate number. The man was Asian, possibly late 30s."
