It’s never good when a person posts something and then immediately has to clarify ‘it’s not a scam!‘ And as per the headline of this piece, this is precisely the situation Tommy Robinson has put himself in:
Tommy Robinson’s latest “grift”: https://t.co/ecsDPqYvA8

“This has scam written all over it”
This is what Robinson wrote to his supporters (emphasis added):
I’m not usually one to post about trading tools or opportunities.
But loads of my friends have been using Core Signals for months, and the results are hard to ignore.
Some of you got early access through my mailing list. Every single person who did has made money.
Zero fees.
Full control.
You choose what you trade.
No one can access or touch your account but you.Watch this video and if you want to check it out then head to https://coresignals.ai/.
No referral codes, no minimum investment.
Give it a try and let me know how you get on!
The obvious take away from the emboldened bit is that this venture produces guaranteed returns. This is why the post now has a community note which reads (emphasis added):
Core Signals is a trading signals service that does not guarantee profits; trading forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk, with 71-89% of retail investor accounts losing money.
It’s not a scam!
Everyone made money!
Well, no they didn’t, but still!
It’s not a scam!
IT’S NOT A SCAM!
This is how Robinson’s followers are reacting (and how Robinson is in turn reacting to them):
No it don’t , at least do some research before . I wouldn’t be sharing if it was a scam

Reading this semi-literate comeback, it’s obvious that Robinson almost certainly didn’t write the post promoting Core Signals.
But he’s right, people should do some research. In this case, that’s easy, because the community note makes it clear that around four out five people are going to lose money. If you’re one of the ‘patriots’ who got in before the community note appeared, that’s bad luck for you; maybe take it up with little Tommy?
This isn’t the first time that people have accused Robinson of promoting a loss-maker to his fans:
Before his ‘Unite The Kingdom’ Rally last year Tommy Robinson promoted a linked crypto coin called UTK.
If you had invested £1000 then it would now be worth around just £2.50.
Yet today he is out again pushing a ‘trading strategy’ that says no one has lost any money. pic.twitter.com/CM8sGlsRVF

People have also criticised his crowdfunding tactics:
So hang on, Tommy Robinson grifted nearly £90k in “donations” from his thick supporters in order to “fight his case” and the his defence was *checks notes* immediately pleading guilty
These people deserve to be scammed

The latest scheme is not going down well with his supporters:
I’ve been involved with crypto since 2016 & this type of scam has been around for ever. Starts off well but always ends in tears. No one promotes these without getting paid. Tommy is promoting a future Scam & he doesn’t care because he’s well paid up front. So disappointing

“What else can I say?”
Robinson has since posted a screengrab of a ChatGPT response claiming it’s not a scam (and yet again, he clearly didn’t write this post):
People always have a view, without a single piece of research or evidence.
You can all do this…
Read the FAQ’s on the Core Signals website.
Or put them into ChatGPT.
And ask if it’s even remotely possible this is a scam.The answer’s so obvious, it’s literally impossible to… https://t.co/97eR8UqLbN pic.twitter.com/1XS5EOW3Zg

The tweet finishes:
The answer’s so obvious, it’s literally impossible to be a scam!
They’re great signals, from seriously good technology.
What else can I say? It works!
Okay, so we’ll explain this slowly to help:
THE
SCAM
IS
THAT

MONEY
It is not guaranteed money.
If you’re one of the people who got taken in by all this, please get in touch, and maybe think twice about who you take advice from.
