A 72-year-old pensioner in Chelsea says he is scammed out of more than £26,000 after dealing with a fake artificial-intelligence account impersonating personal finance commentator Martin Lewis. According to the reports, the man, Alan Clarke, had attempted to invest money with the aim of building an inheritance for his children. Instead, he alleges he was persuaded through the fraudulent messaging and subsequently lost his savings. The account describes the incident as part of a wider pattern of financial trouble for the retiree, but the central claim across the coverage is that the scam involved an AI or chat-style presence using Martin Lewis’s name and likeness. While the reports focus on the person’s losses and motivation, they do not provide additional independent details about how the funds were transferred or whether authorities have confirmed the exact mechanism of the fraud. The story is presented as an example of how impersonation scams can target people seeking financial advice or investment opportunities.
