Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis has been forced to debunk a strange conspiracy theory regarding energy meters which was being spread on social media. With energy costs rising across the country, he has been sharing tips and addressing concerns from the public about money-saving matters in recent weeks.
He has been appearing on Good Morning Britain recently to respond to questions from consumers while also addressing them via his Twitter page, Chronicle Live reports. On social media he clapped back at the growing theory which claims taking away an energy meter means you won't get charged for the energy you use.
Quick to break down this theory, Martin wrote: "There's a conspiracy theory suggestion I keep being asked about that energy charges are 'for having a meter' not for fuel use. Therefore 'remove the meter and you use energy for free'. It's just nonsense."
