10 days for electricity, apparently. Though that link seems 10-11 years out of date.

Nah, still seems current. Page 9 of the pdf file above, sec 10(i)(A)(ix)

I think the key to the scam is that people think they're just "locking in a rate" and not actually signing a contract. They don't see their first bill until well after the cooling off period.

My dad told one of these salesman to f off once. He didn't smell a scam. He's just an old crank.
