My favourite part are all the strangely written comments with the same spread of reactions.
“I filled out the application and the product shipped to my home in under 3 days. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Thank you Mr Facebook Samsung Amazon.com.ie”
What are you talking about? Look at all those comments from real people who definitely received a TV.
Report a scam so powers at Facebook notice it and remove it before someone gets scammed.
That popped up for me as well.
They are probably the best fake profiles I’ve seen on Facebook. They went to a lot of effort adding in pics and life events over a number of months.
I reported that last week as a scam and I assume you seen that today?
If I comment ‘Fuck’ on facebook I’ll get a warning in about 10 minutes and subsequent 30 day ban if I do it again. But they struggle to take down blatant scams like this? Surely they cant be that hard to detect.
If we’re getting scam adverts like this on our profiles, I’m sure Facebook employees / execs are too.
I don’t know why you would call this a scam.
I filled in my details and submitted the form amd later on that day a woman rang to confirm. Within 3-5 working days I received my prize. I was so happy. Thank you official online store!
extremely low prices are a red flag, even when its legit the shipping prices are usually crazy.
799 – 99% = 7.99
Seen that one a million times, you always get people in the comments begging for it as well, despite it not being a prize. Fucking Facebook is such a ball of shite.
My girlfriend handed me her phone to fill in credit card details for shoes last year and I noticed it wasn’t HTTPS, so I checked the URL and realised it was dodgy. When I asked my girlfriend where she found the link she pointed me to a legitimate Facebook ad that was posing as the brand. There wasn’t even a mechanism I could use to report that ad at that time.
Just last week I was randomly tagged by another page posing as another brand for a scam designed to coax people into giving up crypto wallet recovery keys. There are multiple pages doing this, and I reported them all. Facebook automatically scanned the pages, their AI determined there was nothing dodgy. I appealed the report and simply got a message back saying they don’t have enough staff and the report was closed.
Fuck Facebook. They made mega profits last year during lockdowns. They can absolutely afford to eradicate scams and misinformation from their systems but they refuse to do so.
Have had similar run-ins with Twitter.
Cunts got me for €20 for a fucking telescope for an iPhone – absolutely useless
Scam? That’s the official online store, it’s super legit, it is the official store of online you know?
