Reports of dubious door-to-door sales in connection with the energy price brakes for electricity and gas are making the rounds. According to a report by the consumer advice center in Saxony, people would ring the doorbell and pretend to be energy consultants.

Consumers do not have to do anything to benefit from the price brakes, as they are automatically relieved. The most straightforward way to protect yourself from such additional worries is to consistently end unwanted sales pitches, say consumer advocates from Saxony.. The consumer advice centre helps affected consumers with years of experience and good contacts.
