People are being scammed by crooks because they are being deceived by cloned investment sites, advertised mostly on Google, but to a lesser degree on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin. They think they are accessing a legitimate investment company. Sadly for many they are not 2/
Google could fix this problem literally tomorrow:
they simply need to verify the advertiser before taking their money. It would cost. But then again in 2019 the parent company allegedly made $89 Billion profit 3/ searchscene.medium.com/how-much-money…
And they already accept they have to do this: indeed they announced it on 23/4/20. Read their own promotion ... although they have not brought this in yet 4/ blog.google/products/ads/a…
I want to stop pensioners and savers being deceived: we have banned cold calling and brought in protections on pension transfers, but if what you read online is too good to be true it probably is. Please be v careful. Helpful warnings from @thetimes article below 5/
My thanks for all the support in persuading @Google, and others in tech, to be responsible companies. The leading article in the @thetimes sums things up. As one MP in @HouseofCommons pointed out to me the company motto of Google’s is: “Do the right thing”
The choice is theirs

Teddy came and went from this world quickly and quietly. He passed peacefully. Our younger twin, Rafe, was not born until Tuesday 23, but died later that day in NeoNatal ICU.
Baby loss, and coping with grief, is very hard 1/
Nothing we could do. Just a horrible tragedy. We emerged from hospital a week ago shell shocked. We have taken some time out to recover. I am back at work part time, but bear with me. We will come through this, but will always miss our boys. Cards are fine, but pls no flowers 2/
The loss of our younger twin Rafe was particularly acute. He lived and died within a long day. But we treasure our time with him in Neonatal ICU. We were able to tell him of all our hopes and dreams for him, and our family; but he could not make it and died in Flora’s arms 3/
