While I do appreciate all the data from Worldometers, I have noticed that at least one of the adverts I have been getting link to a Scam site selling "Voltbox".   

The link was to a page with lots of unsubstantiated claims of saving "up to 90% of electricity"*.   Remember the saying If it sounds too good to be try, then it is too good to be true.    

The page link I got was in Finnish, but I found a similar page for Australia.  Clearly a scam as all the 'comments' at the bottom of the page had the same picture, but names were changed (not so good in Finnish as some of the female characters where given male names- Oops).



* legally this claim could stand as no lower limit was given and a saving of 0.00001% could be covered by the "up to" part of the claim.


ps.  I see the site is been upload by googleservices...No  good sign when someone like Google is pushing scam sites for the money they will get by placing adverts.
