Libra markets Scam

PeterJD1423

Libra Markets appear to be using Martin Lewis as though he was endorsing them as 'Almost guaranteed get rich quick'  crypto currency investment brokers.
This appeared On-line in an a very convincing advert.
I personally didn't believe that this was genuine and Martin Lewis would never make such an endorsement.
I had already invested £200  - the minimum amount and have since lost everything.
They gave very bad advice trying to encourage me to take a very large loan so they could invest in the same on my behalf.
i am not an investment expert but with hindsight would not trust or believe Libra Markets.
i'm wondering if some how they could publicly shamed and discredited so as to advise the public not to trust or believe them via Martin Lewis' website.

So you want to start a campaign here? It is well known that certain names appear to be used in obviously dubious practices.

Bitcoins etc as this example: https://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2018/03/martin-lewis-spread-word-dont-believe-scam-bitcoin-code-bitcoin-trading-ads/

So spread the word as advised.  

Unfortunately it is usually foolish people who fall for these obvious scams and lost their money, only come on this site after the fact. Then its to late to warn/advise?

These people do not even attempt to do even cursory checks on who they are handing their money to? For example below.

https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/libra-markets

https://www.forexbrokerz.com/brokers/libra-markets-review

The more money wise would not require any warnings, so would not come here for advice in the first place?

Unfortunately the sort of person who believes that a ‘celebrity’ is endorsing a get rich quick scam is not going to be looking to read warnings. The warnings are all there, no one can be forced to read them and if a current google search brings up these warnings on the first page and people ignore them then adding more isn’t going to help. 

Social media is full of ‘celebrities’ endorsing diet drinks, dodgy weight loss pills, money making schemes etc as fast as they are closed down the faster new ones start up.
