    While I appreciate the innocent nature of this post, there have been countless scams involving impersonations of Martin Lewis for many, many years now and if everyone made a thread to announce it, this forum would be quickly swamped by these threads.

    The only difference in recent years is with advances to AI they could be more convincing to people not au-fait with these advancements, but these deep fakes have also been widely discussed here. In any case, we should be pushing for better online education for the general public, rather than off-the-cuff 'watch out for X ad by Y person' (of which is constantly adapting).

    Apologies for coming across quite short as I appreciate the good intentions.
