Have others seen Jeremy Clarkson, Deborah Meaden & Martin Lewis promoting an investment on Facebook this morning, is it a big AI scam?

More than likely. What is it?

Of course it is Hmm

Difficult to say without knowing what it is, but very likely to be a scam if it's not on Martin Lewis's web site. Don't take anything on Facebook as legitimate until proved so.

Martin Lewis got a large settlement from Facebook a few years ago for using his name and image on investment scam ads so yes definitely a scam

ETA it was a donation to CAB rather than a payout to him

Yes, it is. Anything, anywhere online using the names of Martyn Lewis, Dragons Den people or other high profile names associated with finance, wealth or investment is 100% a scam.

I can’t find it now but it cropped up a few times around 8am they were saying you had a few hours to register with £200 to get big returns by the end of this month , I didn’t check it out more than watch their faces & mouths for dodgy things, their voices were spot on.

Textbook scam tactic - creating a sense of urgency, time-limited offers, if you don't pay money now you will lose out/something bad will happen. Cut and paste from the scammers manual.

Yes. Martin Lewis repeatedly says he does not endorse or advertise investment and financial products like this at all.

Martin Lewis in particular is extremely vocal about how he never supports these type of investments shown on Facebook and pursues their removal vigorously, so 100% a scam

Jeremy Clarkson just popped up again on Youtube shorts , the name on the short is . Marvel Ora Krajcik.

Yes an AI generated scam.

Of course it's a scam. It's not possible to turn small amounts of money into large amounts of money without significant risk.

And if it was possible (which it isn't) why on earth would they share it with others?

BangFlash · 13/01/2026 14:13

My mum keeps sending me these. Not asking if they're scans just thinking I might be interested.

I tell her they're scams, she gets sulky saying she just thought I might be interested. No matter how often I say it's not real she thinks I'm commenting on the subject not trying to make her aware.

I live in fear of her signing up to something.

Chatterlyssecret · 13/01/2026 14:56

It’s continually popping up on Reels every time I look at Facebook.
