Bogus electricity devices bought in Northern Ireland

GlynD

Thousands of people across Northern Ireland are buying bogus electricity saving devices, investigators at Trading Standards believe.
Some companies are selling small plug-in devices that simply do not work.

I've never come across this before but there was a documentary on the BBC a few months ago about people in Northern Ireland paying to get their meters bypassed. This seems to be just an extension of that - buy the device and cheat the electricity company.



Except the devices don't work. Hell slap it up anybody who's already bought one.

I hadn't seen the NI news when I posted this item but it was featured. It seems there is a real problem here with potential dangers because some of the products being sold are unsafe. I hope nobody I know has bought one.
