Martin Lewis has warned of a ‘frightening’ scam where a video shows him apparently telling UK investors to put their money into a scheme. But the Money Saving Expert founder said it was a ‘deep fake’ video scam and urged the government to take action to protect people.
In the convincing video Martin is seen saying that it is one of the best investment opportunities he has seen for UK investors. But he took to Twitter to highlight the scam. He said: “Warning - this is a scam by criminals trying to steal money. Pls share.
“This is frightening, it’s the first deep fake video scam I’ve seen with me in it. Govt & regulators must step up to stop big tech publishing such dangerous fakes. People’ll lose money and it’ll ruin lives.”
