This Facebook advertisement leads to this https://venturescounselor.com/help-up/ page, but it's nothing but a fraudulent ad for BitCoiner, isn't it?? Feel free to disagree, but I cannot find the BBC's original and Martin's views on BitCoin are well known.

    Undoubtedly a scam.

    Is it reasonable to assume Martin knows, or should this be passed up the chain of command in order to ensure he does, and how do we/I achieve that? I have, of course, already reported it to Facebook.

    Thank you for flagging this - I will share it with colleagues here at MSE who try to keep tabs on these ads and get them taken down where possible.

    Please see our page here all about fake ads using Martin's name and image:

    There's also a video from Martin here that makes the situation very clear:
