Richardson Hartley Law has joined forces with Humphries Kerstetter to create a group claim against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, over its alleged failure to remove fraudulent advertisements from its platforms.

Martin was joined on the programme by Lynda Cameron, one of the victims who lost money as a result of a scam promoted through Meta’s social media platforms. The pair were interviewed by hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, with later describing the situation as “shocking” during the broadcast.

Speaking on the programme, Mr Richardson set out the legal basis for the claim and the scale of the harm caused to ordinary people across the UK. He emphasised that Meta has the technology and the resources to detect and remove fraudulent advertisements, and that its failure to do so is not a passive oversight; it is a choice that has generated revenue for the platform while leaving victims with devastating losses.
