Overview
- On November 14, Lewis posted on X urging people not to trust firms cold calling about supposed grants for renewables while claiming he endorsed them.
- He told recipients to politely disengage and not speak to the callers.
- Money Saving Expert states that neither Lewis nor MSE endorses products or permits their name or logo to be used on commercial offers.
- MSE advises targets to stop contact, call their bank or the 159 hotline, and report to Action Fraud in England, Wales and Northern Ireland or to Advice Direct Scotland or Police Scotland in Scotland.
- It also urges reports of online scam adverts to the Advertising Standards Authority, noting this impersonation tactic has repeatedly used Lewis’s image in fake promotions.
