Martin Lewis 'viscerally angry' as he issues scam warning on Good Morning Britain
Martin Lewis has shared his upset and anger as he issued a scam warning involving himself on Good Morning Britain. The money saving expert founder isn't a stranger to have his face used in adverts and successfully sued Facebook a number of years ago.
Now though, Martin has warned of a ‘frightening’ new investment scam that uses a deepfake video of him. The 51-year-old urged authorities to "step up" and stop internet giants from publishing such content, saying people will lose money and "lives will be ruined".He first highlighted the sophisticated new con on Twitter, writing: "This is a scam by criminals trying to steal money. This is frightening, it’s the first deep fake video scam I’ve seen with me in it.
"This is going around on Facebook at the moment. And this, as far as I know, is the first deep fake scam advert that we've seen. It's certainly the first with me and it's an absolutely terrifying development." "That's the stage we're in. Now what you have to look at, and I am viscerally angry about this. People watching know I've been campaigning for proper regulation of scam adverts for years. It was 2017 when they proliferated, it was 2018 when I sued Facebook, it was 2019 when I got a 3 million settlement to charity from Facebook and t was also 2019 when we first heard of online harm and online safety bill that still has not been put into place.
