How is this IDT company still in business? Why haven't the other utility companies sued IDT into oblivion over the fraudulent loss of revenue? Does the NY Attorney General care?

It is truly mind-blowing that these guys still exist under the name IDT. I can understand them busting up and reforming under another name...but they haven't even had the need to do that thanks to inaction from the government. To quote Beano Cook: \"It's unbelievable!\"

Nice you cancelled within the 3-day period.
Surely their contract would be unenforceable anyway due to the gross lies and misrepresentation of the situation ?
An IDT salesman showed up at my apartment (a few miles north of Albany) back in March. He said he was there on behalf of the electric company to offer me an opportunity to save money. I told him I wasn't interested and slammed the door.
IDT came to our door a few weeks ago. I was surprised to see these relatively young people going door to door in our building --but they explained that they were contractors for ConEd (our electric company). They showed a badge as well --but were very unprofessional. After asking to see our bills for both electric and gas, this one girl started spouting off about savings and such and circling random things on our bill. I grew uncomfortable and asked them to leave. Thereafter, we researched the company on the web.
Because they were still knocking on doors in our building, I chased them down and requested they leave the building immediately because I knew who they were. It was a nasty, uncomfortable interchange -- but I felt compelled to get my neighbors to understand that this was a bait and switch operation that was geared to defraud. Thus far, I have not see them around again...
How do I cancel IDT?
Their phone recording isn't audible
and the \"submit\" button on their contact page doesn't work.
The email link is \"broken\" as well.

while IDT may use scammy techniques to get to you to sign up. they arent shady when it comes to cancelling. my roommate signed us up a few months ago, and when i called to cancel the next day they didnt give me a hard time. in fact the sales associate didnt even attempt to get me to stay, she processed my cancellation and i was never actually switched over.
Peter: i would first call your current supplier and tell them to block your account from being switched over. then i would call IDT and have them cancel your subscription request. i had no problems doing either.
