Martin Lewis has reminded fans that people are using his name as well as the name of his website to scam unsuspecting internet users.
On Thursday February 9 Martin shared a tweet from a fellow consumer expert, Mark Taber, who issued a warning about a website called 'mseoptions.com'. He warned this website - which appears similar to Martin's MoneySavingExpert - was 'bombarding' internet users with scam emails.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the website appears to have since been taken down - but it is not the only one of its kind.
'MSEOptions' claims to offer 'Martin Lewis' Must Have Fixed Rate Returning Alternative Investments and Savings', and says providers will "Protect Their Customers Up To £85,000".
Mark's tweet, which was shared by Mr Lewis, reads: "WARNING: the UK is being bombarded by SCAM emails from mseoptions.com - a [MoneySavingExpert] fake using fake @TheFCA @FSCS & @bankofengland protection claims."
Martin has previously clarified he does not do ads and he does not agree to appear in promoted posts. He also stated any posts on social media are promoting cryptocurrencies while featuring his face are scams.
Martin also famously sued Facebook after over 1,000 scam adverts featuring his name or image were found on its site. As a result, the social media giant settled out of court, donating £3 million to an anti-scam project.
It comes after Martin reiterated a warning to fans that scammers are using his name and often adding pictures from his appearances on TV last month.
