fake martin lewis ads

Hello MN, this morning I am seeing an ad on the right of the page under the "trending topics" box linking to an article with Martin Lewis - the moneysavingexpert guy - promoting Bitcoin.

AFAIK Martin himself has said this is fake and he would never promote it. Can you do anything about this?

Have just seen it again and it links to this page:

nitroon.com/

A fake article pretending to be from the Daily Mirror, promoting Bitcoin. Please address this asap.

I am getting it too - links to a bitcoin scam

Martin Lewis mentions on his pages the ads are a scam and he is suing facebook over fake ads.

I've also had this

Yes that's the one @BrokenWing. I looked on the MSE website and their advice is to report to Facebook - but this obiously isn't Facebook.

And the headline "sad day for Martin Lewis, our prayers are with him" is just WEIRD.

Hi there, OtraCosaMariposa

Thanks for letting us know about this. Could you let us know where on the site you are seeing this AD? If you could send over a screen shot too, that would be really helpful.

In the meantime, we will look into this at our end.
