Martin Lewis hopped onto Twitter to set the record straight regarding a website that had used his likeness to market its money-saving investment scheme.The homepage of the website includes a huge photo of the financial journalist along with the text, “Calculate your finances”.The site then goes on to present users with a form, where it asks for name, phone number, email and the amount one is looking to invest.

There’s even the option of selecting upwards of £250,000.The site’s description reads: “Whether you've £1 or £1 million, take action now to ensure you're getting every possible penny of interest on your savings.”One devoted fan speculated whether the site was in fact legit after their mother had received an email regarding a fixed rate bond.It prompted them to reach out to Martin via Twitter just to be sure.“Hi Martin,” @Clee100_ wrote.“Am I right in assuming emails linking to http://mse-martinlewis.com are fake?“My mother received one mentioning a 4.875% tesco fixed rate bond.”The 49-year-old didn’t hesitate to respond, saying that he shares no affiliation to the site. “You are right.That is fake,” he tweeted in view of his 1.2 million followers.“I will try and get that website taken down (b*****ds)”Elsewhere, last month, the Money Saving Expert gushed about the surprise he received from Princess Anne and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.The royals had presented Martin with his CBE.
