Icesave - Martin Lewis Should Resign!

NonGeographicalMan

I would just like to say I am only at risk of losing nearly £35k thanks to Martin Lewis who regularly tipped Icesave and other even more dodgy banks like ICICI in his newsletter so that he could earn more commission from click thrus and make himself rich.

The man is clearly a total charlatan who far from apologising is now trying to earn yet more click thru revenue by tipping new dodgy banks for us to invest in and lose all our money with.

He will probably ban me for these comments but if people don't show their anger and hurt then how can he ever understand what he has done.

Mr Lewis your credibility is now zero and you should resign in favour of someone who does not encourage people to risk losing all their money in dodgy foreign banks with alleged investors compensation schemes that do not pay out on the amount allegedly promised.:eek::eek::eek::mad::mad::mad:

90% of Icesave investors would not have their money in this bank and be at risk of losing most of their cash savings if it were not for Martin Lewis's repeated reckless promotion of this company and other Icelandic and similar dodgy overseas headquartered banks.

It's personal responsibility at the end of the day. I chose Icesave and did not continue to look for updates on their stability, and nor did you it seems. It's good to have someone to blame though.

No Martin Lewis built up a reputation as an informed Moneysaver and then misused it to tip dodgy overseas banks on which people were not just saving a few quid here or there (as they do on other products) but instead tieing up their whole life's savings.

He banged on and on about Icesave for months at one stage.

But it was a perfectly reasonable tip at the time. None of us saw this coming so why should Martin have?

Who forced you to use this site?
Who forced you to invest with this company?
Perhaps you should not use this site again if you feel so strongly.

I am up at 3am because I can't sleep for shock and worry over my destroyed finances due to this problem with Icesave. A pretty legitimate reason to be unable to sleep.

You on the other hand are up at 3am making post five thousand and something solely because you are a sad little loner with nothing better to do than to make yourself a self appointed forum guru who enjoys ticking off the non regulars, even when they have every possible reason and excuse in this case for being in emotional and financial distress as a direct result of using this website.

Why don't you think about the dreadful plight of people who have lost access to most of their savings (possibly permanently) rather than just sycophantically defending the owner of this website because it is clearly the only thing that you do in your sad and pathetic little life that gives it any form of meaning.:mad:

No it wasn't a reasonable tip as Icesave is a tiny little country without the backup to weather this kind of storm and xenophobic enough to say that its foreign investors can just jolly well lump it.

As Martin Lewis sets himself up as a guru he should have realised this.

There is a big difference between tipping a cheap make of kettle and telling people to stick all their life's savings somewhere that may go belly up and not be protected by the British government.

I see your illogical rantings have been noted before.:rotfl:

Ah, that is what puts the EXPERT in MSE. but the truth is, it ain't there.

Try harnessing and directing your emotions in a constructive way.

Surely someone who makes over 5,000 posts in a web forum and who is so addicted that they stay up all night without any good excuse (unlike me who has just lost over £30k and doesn't have many other cash savings) is in position to make sanctomonious comments about harnessing their emotions in a constructive way.

Those who think that tomorrow will bring news that all Icesave savers will get their money back with no problems are totally deluding themselves.

Here, here Captain M. Although wasn't it usually Sgt Wilson who was meant to utter such pearls of wisdom.

The only E in Expert that actually applies to Martin Lewis is the E for Egotistical. Anyone in any doubt should watch his ghastly tv show.
