    Yes it is ridiculous.

    It is not on the BBC website.

    If anyone was persuaded to part with their money because they saw a (fake) Martin Lewis shouting at a (fake) Andrew Bailey on a (fake) Question Time show on a (fake) BBC website then they have forfeited their rights to any sympathy.

  • I nearly got caught. Extremeley friendly call-back "assisting" me to register. All I wanted to do was to register and investigate before parting with any money. My friendly helper talked me through various pages until it came to a page which raised my hackles. He wanted me to fill in my Credit Card details and security code and make a "special offer" payment of £212
    I stopped right there, asked him to call me back in an hour, then started digging, to discover whether it was genuine or a scam. TBH I'm computer savvy and very aware of scams and even so, it had me interested till I had to make an instant payment, Glad I stopped right there,
    It's an old adage "If it looks/sounds too good to be true, then it probably IS too good to be true…!"
