How do fraudsters exploit fake energy-saving devices, and what steps help households avoid being deceived?
Fraudsters exploit fake energy-saving devices by advertising them with exaggerated claims of energy savings and lower costs, when in reality, these devices may not work as promised or may even increase energy consumption. To avoid being deceived, households can take the following steps:
1. Research and verify the credibility of the product and the company behind it.
2. Look for certification or approval by reputable organizations or agencies.
3. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
4. Compare prices and features of similar devices in the market.
5. Check for customer reviews and feedback before making a purchase.
6. Install energy monitoring devices to track your energy consumption and savings accurately.
