full alert.
The adverts
using Martin Lewis to promote illicit schemes can be found on social
media and other websites. Clicking on the advert takes you to the full
article where Martin Lewis's image is presented along with fake quotes

take you to a page where you are required to input your contact details,
the suspect company then phones you and encourages you to invest.
