Consumer champion Martin Lewis is calling on the prime minister to hold tech giants responsible for scam adverts under the upcoming Online Safety Bill.

"People like Robbie, they care, in his case about his fans, that he doesn't want them to be ripped off, because people trust him."

Sir Richard said:"We know there has been a sharp rise in scams since the start of the pandemic, and it's deeply concerning that people may be tricked into parting with their money by someone pretending to be me."This is a global issue, and we are doing all we can to unmask scammers, but we can only do this by working together and ensuring the public are protected from these terrifyingly deceptive tactics.

"It's not enough for us to warn people through the press and media, something needs to be done to stop the ads appearing in the first place."Online scam advertising must be regulated and it must be included in the Online Safety Bill."
