On Monday, Martin told his 2.2 million Twitter followers he had flagged the fake account, and voiced surprise that the account was able to get a blue tick. Up until last year, blue ticks had been used on the platform to verify notable public figures and official company accounts. One user wrote: “@elonmusk come on man, Real Martin Lewis does good for the people of the UK and you're now allowing impersonators to get a Blue Tick which pretends to be him in order to scam people.Another said: “Twitter needs to create a better verification process so that this doesn’t happen. Sorry this has happened to you Martin.”Last month, Mr Elon Musk announced that from April 1, legacy verified users would lose their blue ticks unless they paid the monthly fee for Twitter Blue.
