Hello everyone, I did a few different searches and found nothing on the forum or really on google about the company being a scam or anything. I know some of the deregulated energy companies you need to be careful about but I was wondering on this company. I have included a link where they also allow internships. I found out they are not accredited with the BBB but I have read on here that this does not mean the company is a scam or it is not neccassary to be part of the BBB. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated on this company. Thank you again. http://www.myuep.com/CareerPage.aspx

Well, I can't answer your question but their website doesn't comfort me.
There are some grammatical errors and misspellings that indicate a lack of English.
"The founders of United Energy Partners, LLC bring a combined 20 years of business knowledge"
Uh, combined 20 years? By myself I have twice that much "business knowledge".
No doubt there is money to be made if you work hard enough at it.
Not being BBB listed is a plus in my book, no complaints is good.
"The BBB has not received a sufficient volume of requests for information,
nor has the BBB received any complaints on this firm to warrant the development of a report. "
and
"United Energy Partners is licensed with the state (CT) and
the Department of Utility Control [DPUC] said they have no complaints about them"
Founded: June 17, 2009
That being said, they have 4 fans on FaceBook and 3-4 employees.
You do the math.
Also, they have one 5 star review on Merchant Circle, ONE review period.
Scam=No, smart=?

thanks for your replies, there is a company local that was at the Pennsylvania Career Link Job fair looking for people to sign up to work at home but they do not work with our utility Met-Ed ( a division of First Energy out of Ohio) they do work with PP&L but not as many people have them here so that is why I kindof turned away from them. Their company is Starion Energy, and my uncle signed up for deregulated power and he lowered his bill significantly. So thats why I was curious. Does anyone know any well known deregulated energy companies?

There have been several threads on the subject, mostly for Ambit
Here is the WAHF search results for "energy deregulation":
http://www.work-at-home-forum.com/index.php?phrase=energy+deregulation&searchType=3&where=0&fo rum=&sDay=24&sMonth=6&sYear=2005&eDay=9&eMonth=1&eYear=2012&posterName=&action=search&searchGo =1
Not a lot of positives unfortunately.

Hi, I happen to know the "CEO" of the company very well. Notice the quotations. He is 31 so the possibility of 20 years combined is likely if you add his 3-4 years plus his partner's 4 years plus .... well, you catch my drift. There are job postings that boast an income of 50,000 per month yet the "CEO" (<-- quotations again), makes soooo much less than this that he is not even able to pay his court ordered child support of 500.00 per month and he is $12,000.00 behind. He is either seriously under reporting his income to the IRS or he isn't making the money he is promising to his "employees" (yeah, you see them). Check out this link.... (the "president" is the "CEO's" fiance'.... sounds legit to me! *side eye*) http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/count_on_8/bill-payment-false-promises
