Consumers Warned Against 'Dirty Power' Energy-Saving Device Scams

Consumers Warned Against 'Dirty Power' Energy-Saving Device Scams

Grand Valley Rural Power Lines, Inc. is cautioning consumers about fraudulent 'energy saver' devices marketed to reduce electricity bills. These devices, often sold online under names like 'power optimizers' or 'voltage regulators,' claim to slash electricity costs by addressing 'dirty electricity' or 'reactive power.' However, according to Walter Fees, Manager of Engineering at Grand Valley Rural Power Lines, Inc., home electric meters only measure 'active power' (kilowatts and kilowatt-hours), which is what consumers are billed for, not 'reactive power.' Experts advise skepticism towards products promising significant savings without clear explanations of how these savings are achieved. A YouTube video investigating one such device revealed it contained only basic components like a capacitor and surge protector, with no actual power measurement or control capabilities. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has previously warned that energy-saving claims must be substantiated by reliable evidence.

Chinese National Arrested in Michigan for Alleged Role in $1 Million Nationwide Fraud Scheme

Chinese National Arrested in Michigan for Alleged Role in $1 Million Nationwide Fraud Scheme

A 24-year-old Chinese national, Xiangbo Sun, has been arrested in Allegan County, Michigan, in connection with a nationwide fraud scheme that allegedly scammed over $1 million from individuals across the United States. This includes nearly $500,000 from an elderly Michigan woman. Sun, who entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in May, was apprehended during a sting operation at the elderly woman's home. The victim had been contacted by individuals claiming to be from the Federal Trade Commission, who falsely stated her identity had been stolen and threatened her children's identities if she didn't comply. She was convinced to withdraw money from her retirement and savings accounts, depositing hundreds of thousands with 'secure couriers' in the form of gold coins. The Allegan County Sheriff's Office, along with Kent County detectives, set up the sting after the woman reported that couriers were scheduled to pick up an additional $60,000 in cash. Aerial drones and plainclothes detectives were used to surveil the...

Indiana Death Row Inmate Seeks Execution Delay for Brain Scans Ahead of Clemency Hearings

Indiana Death Row Inmate Seeks Execution Delay for Brain Scans Ahead of Clemency Hearings

Jeffrey Weisheit, an Indiana death row inmate, is requesting a two-week delay of his November 5 execution date to allow for brain scans and the presentation of additional evidence to Governor Mike Braun for clemency consideration. Weisheit's attorneys argue that evidence regarding his brain injuries, mental illness, and childhood trauma was not adequately developed or presented during his original trial and appeals. They are seeking to obtain new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, along with expert analysis, to provide Governor Braun with a more comprehensive understanding of his impairments. A federal judge previously approved funding for the testing but stated she lacked the authority to order prison officials to transport Weisheit for the scans. Consequently, his attorneys have filed emergency motions with the Indiana Supreme Court to direct prison officials to transport him to a medical imaging center and postpone his execution and clemency proceedings.
