    They can sign you up for a contract, without you actually signing?

    That's a neat trick.

    I have a nice new bill, with an invoice number, a new mobile number, and the manager of the shop lied his ass off.

    Garda fraud squad said I am not the 1st this week either.

    To form a contract, they need your signature or in the case of a phone call, your voice recording that you allow such. Ask to be shown your signature.

    Airtricity do the same thing with their door to door reps. I'd have thought it'd be a touch illegal, but they get away with it.

    OP, Keep it to the other forum you posted in.

    We don't really care here.
