The question is, is Ambit energy really any better or cheaper? What is the catch? (I don’t know enough about this program to give answers here, maybe popa can help us out)
The catch is that it isn’t cheaper, after the delivery fees which the electricity company gets to charge you even if you are using ambit.
The simplest proof to a scam, is that if it was really a profitable way to make money, it would be run like a regular business. The normal business model is the most efficient way to run a business, and makes for the largest profits. If it is running as an MLM, it is because it is one big ?? ?? ?????.
I will note here that Dans Deals has banned all talk of ambit energy from his site. Because he doesn’t want his site used to promote scams.
However, you should not accuse your acquaintances who do it of being thieves. Probably, they don’t understand, and are the victims of the thievery.
It is the same with all of them: Scamway, ambit, maddoff, and the rest.
