His advertising campaign Energy Saver Pro at Google we got curious and said let's see what's going on. With a little searching we discovered that this particular one scam του Energy Saver Pro, είχε κυκλοφορήσει και παλαιότερα με διαφορετικό όνομα.
The scam was then coming from economizer.gr, but it seemed to have been perceived very quickly. Magic type devices Economiser , when they appeared several years ago, were different in appearance, and the crooks were sparing in their miraculous promises. Then they offered one decrease to account of 10 up to 25%.
Scammers then and still today offer a device that will miraculously lower your electricity bills. The electrician Kostas Mitropoulos, in fact, describes to us the tearful story of his family that was freezing in the winter, until he discovered the device! In the graph given by the scammers you can see a steep drop in consumption, which probably makes them a lot of profit, from victims who believe the scam. The product promises 75% lower electricity bill.
When we tried to launch the website of such a successful product, our suspicions were confirmed.

Immediately afterwards, however, we fell on the Prosecution Intervention that was released in October at 2010 for energy saving devices, which has solved every question. Without a doubt, this is a scam that targets the profit not of the consumer but of the people behind it.
We quote the Prosecutor 's Intervention by econews.gr
More specifically, after research carried out, the General Secretariat of the Consumer, issued a press release informing consumers that the various devices advertised in the media and on the internet that achieve savings in electricity consumption and a reduction in the electricity bill by up to 50%, do not bring about any reduction in electricity bill of residential and small commercial consumers.
This happens because the devices in question, from a technical point of view, only record reactive energy, while the single-phase and three-phase meters of D.E.H. installed in homes and small businesses only record active energy, and therefore any reduction resulting from the use of these devices is not recorded and billed. But even if the meters of D.E.H. were studied to record idle energy, the rate of saving would not exceed 1%. Consequently, the allegations of alleged reduction of the electricity bill by application of the above devices are misleading.
For this purpose, after all, all the relevant procedures have been initiated for the implementation of the provisions on unfair commercial practices and the imposition of the foreseen administrative sanctions. However, from an investigation carried out after the above announcement by the General Secretariat of Consumer Affairs, it was found that at least eight companies are still promoting through Internet electrical energy saving devices.
In some cases, public documents are invoked that create the inaccurate impression on the consumer public that there is a relevant license from the public authorities. Therefore, the Secretary General of Consumer submitted all the relevant information that emerged from the investigation to the Athens Prosecutor's Office, which ordered an urgent preliminary investigation to investigate the criminal responsibilities of the persons involved in the above activities.
We should recall common sense.
PPC meters record all energy consumed in a home or workplace. If you want to have reduced bills, use less power, and change your devices with other energy-efficient ones.
Be careful, do not throw away your money. With 2 parallel capacitors 2.2μF / 400V costing 0,12 euros one you can get the same results, but of course you will never reach the 75% or 20% or 45% reduction in your account promised by fraudsters. We should probably expect a new Prosecutor's intervention for the "new" "revolutionary" product.

Misinformation! FRAUD
What is the basic principle of operation and the
patent number?
NASA has issued such a device (the patent
I have it) and it saves 23% but "ONLY" in inductive loads.
You tell us that it also saves on ohms
loads (incandescent lamps, resistance stoves, water heaters
etc)… .how? ;;;;;;;;;
What a terrible invention that overthrows everyone
the rules of electrical engineering? (P = VxI χ συν φ).
In ohmic loads the coefficient = 1 is not calculated
so at P = VxI
how do you save?
Unless the device intervenes at its conduction angle
(Triac), which does not exist, but even here according to the NASA patent (WattsaverUSPatent 4,052,648) applies as I mentioned above… .only for inductive loads.
