Is Martins Money Tips a Scam?

I just got an email from mse@martinsmoneytips...... promoting a Citibank savings bond.

It looks genuine, but my instincts tell me it's a scam.

The only emails I ever get are weekly, from msemoneytips@email.moneysavingexpert.com

So yes, delete it.

The MSE email comes from moneysavingexpert.com 

I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole and MSE official email always tells you Martin/MSE never endorse any bonds or investments, the language alone is telling it's either AI or written by someone with a somewhat limited grasp of English. MSE emails are written in simple, easy to understand terms, not this flowery nonsense

I've just checked my Gmail filter which let it through and changed it to make it more specific to moneysavingexpert.com

If this can be traced back to Citibank I suspect a letter from Martin's solicitor will follow
