    Can I sell you a cabin on the Titanic? It might not be up to much at the minute, but if they ever recover it it will be worth a fortune.

    Martin Lewis does not do ads. So if you see him on anything it's a scam or at best without his permission.
    His consumer advice is excellent and well worth following or at least checking against your own approach. The man has managed to make millions out of helping people, so goos on him.
    How many other millionaires can say the same?

    Don't talk about my millions of Lunc like that when I plan to be our new billionaire owner when it smashes the old all time high.

    This scam has popped up a bunch of times. Social media, particularly FB seem happy to run all sorts of scam ads. I hope at some stage they get sued to ****.

    Yes he sued them once maybe he'll have to consider doing it again.

    How a platform can be so gullible & complicit in allowing scams is unbelievable. You get knock off Chinese goods advertised & all sorts of stuff. Lewis for me is one on the good guys. Apolitical, but a very good campaigner & educator. Yeah he will make a good income for what he does, but he should not be getting this kind of crap shared as if he is behind it. It is fraud plain & simple & FB need to get some multimillion pound fines that are given straight to the NHS.

    He’s completely fine and his advice is fantastic. That link, however, had got nothing to do with Martin Lewis whatsoever. The scam artists are just using his picture and name to try and make people trust it. If ever you’re unsure go to the money saving expert website and search the thing up directly.

    It's sad to see people have a negative view of Martin as a result of these scams and I've seen the man close to tears when talking about people who have been scammed using his name.
