Beware of Email Scam Promising to Cut Energy Bills by 92%
Cybersecurity experts are warning consumers about an email scam promoting a scam email that advertises a plug-in device allegedly slashing energy bills by 92%. The email directs users to a phishing website, claiming that the product can significantly cut household energy costs by optimising electricity usage.
However, as reported by Manchester Evening News, this so-called energy-saving device has been linked to fraudulent activity, with multiple consumers experiencing unexpected charges and undelivered orders.
0/10 for this effort.
Good grief, the decline really has set in if we can't even rely on scammers to do their job properly. Some scams are now so absurd that a chap is bound to wonder if scammers know their business.
Have they been trained correctly, through an approved scammer's apprentice scheme? Obviously not. If scammers carry on like this, we'll soon see claims about a device which supposedly cuts energy bills by over 100%.

Apart from the standing charge and admin fees, it's very likely that Ed is going to make massive cuts in all our electricity bills.
If they are not generating any, they can't charge you for it. You've heard of "too cheap to meter", and now it's time for "too scarce to meter".
Oh come on. We already fell for the scam that promised to raise energy prices by over 100%.
Well - pay us more money and we will reduce your bills is a common false claim in both cases.
Sam - ha ha, yes that's what we are heading for, "too scarce to meter".
decnine - but think of the energy security delivered by all those windmills.
Woodsy - it's like political versions of "investment" - always a negative return.
I recently saw someone promoting the old "car engine that runs on water" scam. He said Toyota would be bringing it out soon. Of course they will.
dearieme - I've come across one or two mentions of the water engine. It never quite fades away, maybe Ed Miliband would be interested.
