Optiwatt plug in energy saver

I bet if I clicked that check availability button (I won't, I know it's a scam), it would take me to a timed sales page to pressure you to buy with an upsell for other scam products soon afterward.

Disgruntled or ex-employee, a secret the energy companies don't want you to know about, a modicome of truth sprinkled in (power factor is a thing that exists) to make it believable if anyone were to research, the rest being AI generated lies, customer testimonies completely made up, fake Facebook comments section, fake tech blog that changes its name in the article. The whole thing screams scam but if you know their techniques, you can avoid getting scammed elsewhere.

Over on YouTube, the Computer Clan has gone through the steps they take to scam people and Big Clive opens them up to show how they scam you.

I was reminded of this thread when reading this article earlier.

Almost one in three Meta ads are some sort of scam.

Appreciate this is an old thread but I've just come across an advert for this product. Here it is if you want to see how convincing it looks for the unwary. https://youtube.com/shorts/HTspN9yNIuk?si=ix3KXgyT3xPLcTRd

So not convincing at all then.

Adds on social media. The phrase Barge & pole springs to mind.

Snake Oil.

There is a possibility that a capacitor across the mains could smooth out a noisy signal, but that won't save you any money, not a penny.

I saw a cunning variation of this scam the other day. They acknowledged that domestic meters measure true power, but implied that it only works on modern electronic meters. In other words, it was targeting smart meter refusers.

Pretty astute, as most of the argument against smart meters are verging on consipracy theories, so scammers going after the gullible makes complete sense.
