Econnex online electricity comparison - a con

I did an online comparison electricity suppilers via Econnex. Have to enter personal details, then got a pushy call telling me I had two options, the best with my current retailer. It wasnt the best, I indicated that and that I would not make a decision over the phone. I requested they email me comparison details, they didn't. Got another call, same thing, still no email. They are only after a referral fee, and dont recommend the best retailer. Note their advice "This Econnex Comparison platform is powered by CIMET Sales Pty Ltd ABN 72 620 395 726. We do not compare all brands in the market, or all products offered by all brands. At times certain brands or products may not be available or offered to you. If you proceed with a retailer plan through the Econnex Comparison platform; Econnex Comparison, CIMET Sales and CIMET Sales partners may each receive a referral fee."

Received a cold call today

Received a cold call today, have never heard of the company. I told them I was not interested in solar at the moment and he started to become a bit pushy. Would not stop trying to sell to me even though I said many times I'm not interested. I ended up hanging up on him. Cheers.
