Martin Lewis was left feeling 'slightly sick' as he made an appearance on ITV This Morning when a viewer spoke of losing over £12,000 to a cryptocurrency scam. The Money Saving Expert founder spoke to Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield via video link on Tuesday's edition of the daytime show (February 28) before the return of his ITV show tonight.
Phone lines were open for viewers to speak to Martin about their queries, and before long the 50-year-old was issuing a warning of a scan to viewers. During the 'Ask Martin Lewis' segment, a man, named John, told Martin how he lad lost more than £12,000 to a fake cryptocurrency advert, Manchester Evening News reports.
Martin spoke of scammers now being more "sophisticated" and "physiologically devious", which enables them to catch people out.
