Endesa Competition
July 12th, 2008 - Sandra MarshallMet up with a very pleasant lady, Mary, in the Mercadona this am, who had had rather an interesting phone-call, and felt it would be useful to forewarn others! It seems electricity supply here in Almerimar is being opened up for competition, and that Endessa are making moves to try and ensure that they keep their customers. She was phoned by someone who spoke English, said they were from Endessa offering her 2% discount, and already had all her banking details. So far so good, but then the English stopped, and she was left listening to a Spanish recording that asked questions including expecting confirmation of her account details. SO be prepared that this may happen to us all. I think it all sounds above board, but I agree that it’s not pleasant being expected to give personal information over the phone when you don’t really understand what you are being asked for, and can’t confirm that the conversation is secure, or even where the caller is from. My advice is that it’s not worth going through anything that you are uncomfortable with for a mere 2%.
