First Utility comparison scam

Why is it coming out on top of the comparison sites as the cheapest when clearly it is not!!

Here is a quote from an e mail i got from them asking if the tarriff is fixed as advertised on the comparison sites such as the MSE one.



The iSave v16 tariff, is fixed for a periodof 3 months. After that your tariff is variable and could potentiallychange.



Too be fair MSE does warn of the crap service off them but there is NO mention of the 3 month only fix on any site...

    What a lot of font changes!

    Just did a comparison (uSwitch and MSE Cheap Energy Club), FU iSave v16 does indeed come out cheapest, however it is clearly listed as a variable tariff.

    Scam? Que Scam?

    It is also listed as a Fixed tariff when you choose a fix tariff on the comparison sites.

    The font change was due to my copy and paste sorry
