    Well, I guess this had to happen sooner or later. The MSE brand is being leveraged here for marketing purposes well and truly to the detriment of its users.

    Savers should avoid any option that does not have FSCS protection. Even mainstream investments get FSCS protection.

    General rule of thumb is to avoid anything without FSCS protection.

    It will be the 12th of never before I will ever understand why MSE would want to ruin its own good name by promoting a non-FSCS protected gizmo.

    There'll be some profit in it, would be my guess.

    Though unfortunately not for anyone daft enough to try and save any money using this MSE recommend thingy.
