Can i just remind everyone, if you see an obvious :spam: post, then please, click on the REPORT SPAM button on that post.

The less spam, the more help we can give to people.

Thanks.

    Not a spam, but I've just done a google search and an advert popped up with an advert for "amazing - Martin's new venture helps British families earn a second income" (with a picture of Martin Lewis, so no doubt it's claiming to be from him) - I presume this isn't endorsed by him at all.

    Link is:


    Edit - link doesn't work, but I have a screenshot if needed.

    Martin is taking legal action against Facebook concerning fake endorsements, so perhaps that will encourage Google to be a little more proactive.

    Please do not post or quote spam links, as it just feeds the fire.

    Thanks.

    Hope he wins. It's particularly irritating that Facebook keep saying we simply need to report posts and they will remove them. So we need to sit around scouring millions of Facebook posts for malicious content? Unpaid? As Martin himself says:

    Facebook need to police Facebook

    Oh wait, what was the topic again? We need to police MSE...
