"Next new scam whether you want it or not are the Meters that charge you what they want! Whether you want it or not and regardless as to whether you use the lights or Not."
What kind of meter "charges you what they want?" Do "they" just program them individually based on whether "they" like you or not?
If you're referring to meters that send usage data to the power company, they are REQUIRED to be accurate to a small fraction of a percent...per law. I have one for my power and one for my gas and no problems whatsoever. These meters are NOT programmable to cheat you.
This would be fraud and can be reported to a states regulatory commission.
What is your source for these "charge what they want" meters?
To check if others have tapped into YOUR power, turn off your main breaker and see if your meter continues to register usage.
