I can't believe this is true!

Martin Lewis quoted in "Make Money Scheme" which is an allegedly no lose stock-market automated trading scheme. I'm shocked, you get the full on American hard sell. I'm more than a bit suspicious as the password they will accept is cryptographically insecure (trust me cybersecurity was part of my day job). If this plug was authorised by Martin Lewis it undermines his credibility.

    Loads of people have been using Martin's name to promote dodgy stuff on Facebook etc for a while now. I'm not sure if there is an email address or somewhere that you can officially report it to the site, as I'm sure he would want to take action to get it removed.

    I've saved the advertisement, problem is I don't know of management email address I can send it to with the add as an attachment. They don't encourage direct contact to report scams. All I can do is mention it here. It's on Facebook and it's absolutely blatant.

    Yes I've done that. I sent them the advert picture. There are now 2 Facebook ads made to look as if Martin is endorsing the product. I
    think moneysaving legal need to jump on Facebook.
