Ofgem has issued a warning to people who might be thinking about swapping their energy meter to save money.
The government regulator posted on Facebook on Tuesday to warn against making the move. It said there had been multiple reports on social media which claim people can save money by changing the energy meter without permission from your supplier - this is false.
Ofgem warned this is illegal and could be dangerous. A spokesperson said: "You can't 'swap your energy meter' to save money. There are reports on social media you can save money by changing your energy meter without permission from your supplier. This is illegal and could be dangerous."
