The Site and Martin

If you see an online advert, particularly if it features a celebrity, always assume it could be a scam. That's a warning from Martin Lewis after our exclusive analysis of Action Fraud data found that the MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder, alongside Taylor Swift and Elon Musk, is the most featured public figure in reports to it.

If you've used the social media platform Twitter – also known as X – over the past month or so, you may have encountered a bizarre glitch where tapping on any image, video or link unexpectedly takes you to MoneySavingExpert.com's (MSE's) car finance free reclaim page. To be clear: this ISN'T an advert, we AREN'T behind it, and we've reported it to X to investigate.

Teachers need to be "properly resourced" and supported to deliver much-needed financial education in schools, Martin Lewis has urged. Speaking to the House of Commons Education Committee, the MoneySavingExpert.com founder said getting personal finance on the national curriculum had proved a "pyrrhic victory" due to the lack of resources put into the subject.

We've had a series of worrying reports that cold callers have turned up at homes claiming they are from MoneySavingExpert.com and can save people money on their energy bills. So once again we're warning everyone – MoneySavingExpert NEVER cold calls, and these people are NOTHING to do with us.

About six weeks ago Mark and Roxanne Hoyle (LadBaby) contacted my team to ask if I'd join them in a reworking of Band Aid (with Bob Geldof and Midge Ure's permission) – I thought they'd confused me with someone else.

MoneySavingExpert.com and its founder Martin Lewis have joined forces with a number of campaign groups and organisations to urge the Prime Minister to push the scams element of the Online Safety Bill through Parliament as quickly as possible in a bid to end the "constant perpetuation of online fraud".

A viral post being shared on Facebook and Twitter alongside a photo of MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder Martin Lewis claims people can "fight extortionate price hikes" by submitting complaints and subject access requests to their energy supplier. But this didn't come from Martin or MSE and has nothing to do with us.

Today, campaigning journalist Martin Lewis – founder of MoneySavingExpert.com and the Money & Mental Health Policy Institute charity, and the presenter of The Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV – has been awarded a CBE for services to broadcasting and consumer rights in the Queen's New Year Honours.

The first-ever curriculum mapped financial education textbook – funded jointly by MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis and the Money and Pensions Service – has now landed in secondary schools in Scotland, following the successful roll-out of versions in England and Northern Ireland.

MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis has warned there is a huge raft of deadlines, cut-offs, price hikes and changes about to hit millions of people in the UK, on his ITV The Martin Lewis Money Show (watch the full 24-minute show to get a detailed briefing).   The issue is caused by 1 April price rises by public service firms and utility providers, and includes council tax, energy bills, Sky and BT bills, and more. Plus it's the start of a new tax year on 6 April, which throws up a lot of urgent deadlines - if you miss them, you likely miss out. Martin explains the April price hikes (four minutes)
