UK money saving expert featured in fake cryptocurrency ads on Instagram — AGAIN!

It’s 2020, you’d think by now cryptocurrency scammers would have moved on from using unendorsed celebrity images to peddle their heinous cons. But no.

Earlier this week, Twitter user @peterfinn5252 claimed to have come across new adverts featuring Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis. The adverts claim that a “revolutionary Bitcoin home based opportunity” will change the lives of “thousands of British [sic] forever.”

@MartinSLewis I just came across this on instagram. In view of what you have said in the past I am guessing you are not endorsing this pic.twitter.com/WWQSCLMnkf

Sadly, though, it won’t. Because the ads are fake.

One of the adverts is mocked up to look like British tabloid newspaper site, the Mirror. But the URL is clearly not related to the Mirror’s real website.

Martin Lewis has already chimed in to debunk the fraudulent advertisements….
