Episode Details

Energy theft is on the rise as people desperate to cut costs tamper with gas and electricity meters — a dangerous, illegal act costing UK households over $1.4 billion annually. Criminals are targeting vulnerable individuals with fake “fix-it” offers, but the risks include fires, explosions, electrocution, and even death. Penalties for offenders are severe: unlimited fines and up to five years in prison. Ofgem warns listeners to look out for signs like strange pipes, missing dials, or gas smells — and to report any suspicious activity immediately via Stay Energy Safe or by phone. Protect yourself, your home, and the energy system — don’t fall for the scam.
