Happened to us in Ontario. Pretended they were with hydro one. They want to see your bills to get your account number. They then switch you over to a third party provider.  Your friend was much too polite. Correct response is F#*k off!

A friend had 2 males come up to the house claiming they were working for Fortis. Wanted some info and wanted to see the last few bills to see if they had the approved rates ?  Fortis does not send people door to door. And as my friend said... if you are Fortis you already know my rates... get off my property now.
