The money specialist says he is in a 'peculiar position'
Martin Lewis has defended his decision to pay for a Twitter blue tick, as people unfollow the finance expert.
While many accounts refused to pay for a blue tick, financial journalist Martin Lewis has forked up the cash to keep his verification. The savings guru said he a good reason to, as he feels "obligated" as a money advisor. But Lewis has said that while he doesn't support paying for the Twitter Blue checkmark, he maintains that it is a necessity for him to prevent imposter accounts scamming vulnerable users. Lewis is known for offering his expertise on all things money, so fake accounts could use his image for financial gain.
"I'm in a peculiar position that scammers commonly impersonate me to steal from the vulnerable, so I feel obligated to do it to reduce that risk."
