Martin Lewis meets man duped by deepfake ad using his face

Des lost Β£76,000 after falling victim to a scam advert online which used a deepfake of Martin Lewis and Elon Musk promoting an investment scheme, which does not exist.

Meeting Martin Lewis as part of a special podcast about scams, the consumer finance expert said Des was "brave and admirable" for telling his story as a "warning flag" for others.
