From tiny tweets to national TV

An independent financial adviser from Leyland who turned an occasional tweet into a personal crusade is to feature in a documentary on national television.

The ever vigilant adviser had seen it grow from a steady trickle to a stream of spurious canvassing calls. Consequently, he decided enough was enough.

“They do it so convincingly and it is very easy to fall for. I posted a tweet advising people in our local area not to fall for such dangerous claims and if they were in doubt, to contact me.”

Money Marketing did an exclusive interview with him and then came a call from the investigative team at Channel 4’s Dispatches.

Greg commented: “I told him I was from a small, provincial town in the North West and was inundated by such people pestering me. He was amazed at how widespread it was and the industrial scale that these companies operate on. What was scheduled as a 30-minute interview ended-up taking us two-and-a-half hours to conclude.”

“Michael was a consummate professional and I was so in awe that I completely forgot to even take a quick souvenir photograph,” he laughed.
