Back in the day where I live there were a lot of energy resellers going around with fixed rate scams. Basically they'd sign you up for hydro at a higher rate and promise that the price would never go up as long as you were with them. Naturally, if you looked at the contract they could cancel it for whatever reason, and they'd sell you energy at a hefty mark-up knowing full well they could disappear if the price actually did go up.

The best part is that they'd get you to show them your elec bill and then they'd base the price they offered you off of what they saw you were paying. My idiot ex actually signed us up for it, but fortunately it turned out that my signature was needed before it could go through.
