The Motex website was created 71 days ago, and information is witheld by a Privacy Service. The TechTrends website which reviews (advertises) the product gives false information:
They are using the name of the famous (not to everyone) scientist to impress, and quote ridiculous amounts that can be saved: 'It is no secret that the price of electricity is steadily increasing each year, but thanks to this new Nikola-Tesla-inspired technology, consumers can save hundreds to thousands of pounds every year on their electric bills.' The device contains a capacitor, a few resistors, an LED and a fuse - all it does is light the LED!
The website does not change its text to agree with the location of the reader: there is no Public Utility Commission in the UK: 'It's very apparent that we as Brits have an energy crisis - a lack of energy from lawmakers and the Public Utility Commission about fixing the crooked business of selling overpriced electricity to consumers.'
The reviews are ficticious, and all the photos are 'models' The site is connected financially to the seller of Motex. Here is a statement from the end of their website:
