I've had a few ads appear purporting to be from Martin Lewis.
These are a total scam and he is livid that his name is being used in this way.

Does gransnet have a way to stop people using their site for unscrupulous means?

I have seen it a couple of times, and remember him getting so livid, on his show, about theses scam ads.

Ruth Langsford was talking about this on This Morning, she has been advertised as promoting a slimming ad
It is disgusting how these ads pop up, and very harmful to the people who are supposed to be in them

He was going to take Facebook to court although I'm not sure what happened with that.

Martin Lewis doesn't deserve this. He's a great character and has helped hundreds of people with his money shows and advice.
In a way he should feel flattered that someone is emulating him but this is so wrong and shows that those who are at fault are the lowest of the low in trying to usurp his popularity. They won't win !
