The King, Jeremy Clarkson and Rishi Sunak were among those to appear in the list compiled by MoneySavingExpert.
Taylor Swift, Elon Musk and Martin Lewis are among the celebrity profiles being commonly misused in scam adverts, data suggests.
Ticket scams are also rife, with scammers also trying to cash in on the popularity of Swift’s Era’s tour. People should look to buy from official ticket selling or reselling platforms and be cautious on social media. Martin Lewis topped the list in the analysis of the most featured public figures mentioned in reports to Action Fraud.
Mr Lewis added: “And if it’s an ad with me in, it’s always a scam, as I don’t do adverts. Topping this list is about the worst compliment I’ve ever had." Those taking part in the 159 scheme include Monzo, Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Co-operative Bank, First Direct, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Metro Bank, Nationwide Building Society, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Starling, Tide, TSB and Ulster Bank.
If someone has paid by card, they could try to get their money back under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act or they could try to claim their money back via the chargeback scheme.
