Wyllow this is fake news which you *should not be spreading*

She isn’t spreading it. If you’d read the thread you’d know that.

Wyllow this is fake news which you should not be spreading

Martin Lewis is not the only financial expert deep faked this way. I read last weekend of people who lost tens of thousands of £s investing in a fund purported to be run and promoted by this expert, whose name eludes me.

He was absolutely horrified to find out what people had been led into, because they knew of him and his expertise and thought this deep fake was him.

There was a story in the Mail last week featuring a man who thought he was on a legitimate cryptocurrency site endorsed by Martin Lewis but it was of course a scam.
He lost £120,000.

Martin Lewis’s image has been used on numerous occasions and he has warned people repeatedly on his tv shows.

These despicable scammers work on people’s greed.

This ML scam is all over Instagram and other quite profile people have been shown in clips ...its all AI or scammers

Yes, another scam. ☹

They will be sat in a shed somewhere, wearing headphones 😩

Absolutely not. They are imprisoned in these small towns built for just this purpose.

The Martin Lewis one has been around for a while now.
When I think how quickly FB or even GN take down or ban people for posts, you wonder why they don’t do something about things like this.

Martin Lewis issued proceedings against Facebook as there were over 1000 scam ads popping up with his face supposedly endorsing things. Facebook agreed to pay £3m to a charity of Martin's choice if it didn't go to court. Seems nothing has really changed. He has said time and time again that he doesn't put his name to anything but people are still falling for them.

There was a man on the news this week who had lost £75000 having been scammed by people purporting to be Martin Lewis and Elon Musk.

They will be sat in a shed somewhere, wearing headphones 😩

Yes, M61, check out the website I gave, you can't get into "weather" "sounds" etc. It's so well done, but there is that dangerous bar at the bottom to press to get drawn into the scam. Phew, thank you JaxJacky. I don't feel a fool, I feel rather enraged!

Yes I clicked on it thanks.
He’s fed up with people using his name & good reputation to scam folk.

Just the way it reads I can tell it’s a fake.

There are so many of these about. There’s one featuring Deborah Meaden from Dragon’s Den and one from the blonde, Sarah from DD both saying they endorse slimming pills. Total rubbish.

There are a couple of others involving supposedly NHS staff who have supposedly lost stones in weight. One shows 3 “Drs” and the other some “nurses”. Again, absolute rubbish!

They’re everywhere. You really don’t know what to believe anymore. We need to be vigilant and double check anything that looks just too good to be true.

Seems a pretty spiteful thing to do to Martin Lewis, of all people? Who's behind the scam if it is one?

Probably the same charlatans and conmen who illegally used his name to front their financial scams. The real Martin Lewis denounced the fakes and warned his followers not to be taken in.

If you follow Martin Lewis, (I do), he said
about 10 days ago that he was going on holiday for a few weeks and would neither be seen nor heard on any media.
So maybe the scammers though it was an opportune time to get him out there?

Came across something like this on Facebook which is full of rubbish these days.

Wyllow usually checks things very carefully

We should all do that, but it means we end up not believing anything that is reported. As well as not everyone is tech savvy and I am one of them.

In the times we are living in your immediate reaction should have been to check out the story.

Not only false but over a year old.

This is how misinformation can so easily be put online, and believed by many. Then tragically sometimes acted upon. We live in strange times.

We were only talking about scams in the gym yesterday morning, I told them I would probably end up in court one day as I ignore everything that comes through my email account regarding parking fines, overdue tax, bank account etc.

My defence will be the amount of scams around and the difficulty of telling the truth from the fake…

What a sick, crazy f....up world we live in. I'm getting so distrustful of most that I read on here, especially the side bar stuff. I whizz straight past and don't allow it head space. Deep fakery and clever editing means nothing and no-one is safe. Don't trust ant media!
