Facebook Ads Scam

[Potato Chips]

Lol. Scamadviser should've just sticked to listing pros and cons instead of drawing out scores alongside with conclusions that could be misleading for the gullible people

e.g.

It seems that afexeu.com is legit and safe to use and not a scam website.

... Websites that score 80% or higher are in general safe to use with 100% being very safe.

Yes, you could list valid SSL, etc as a positive but we all know many scammers have them as well hence these conclusions ain't helping.

You're right about leaving fake reviews. There is even a buy/sell market for such things. Anyhow, I tried to leave a negative review yet I'm not seeing it showing up. Perhaps, it might take time. Has anyone tried?

I also tried writing a review, but it did not appear either. Perhaps new reviews will be held for review first by the Scamadviser team. What I see is that the Scamadviser website cannot be relied upon as a 100% reliable source because most of its analyses, reviews, and information are not accurate and could be wrong in most cases due to the large number of sites that are analyzed through them on a monthly basis, as they mentioned, in the following quote:

We tried to analyze the content of the website but we failed. It may mean a temporary technical error, that the site is not active, there is no content, or that the website is actively blocking our efforts to analyze the information it is offering. As we analyze more than 2 million websites every month we recommend caution. Extra research to determine if this website is legit or a scam is recommended.

Also, the Scamadviser algorithm related to trust scores may depend on the social media activities of the scam platform and the positive reviews published on many popular review platforms, which may be fake and shill reviews written by the platform team.

Take a look at the accounts of people who wrote positive reviews. You will find that they are new accounts that have only one review about the Afexeu website, and most of them were published on 23/05, this is a red flag indicating that these accounts were created specifically for this purpose and to mislead people.

I'm not saying that you don't do something but all you do on Facebook is to report it's just a waste of time, I usually report 5 ads and then ignore all the others, Scammers are well funded so they keep showing ads, and Facebook marketing just lets those ads show up.

I usually report scam ads, but i rarely see them since i always clear cache/data my fb app, clear cookies my used browser so i usually see random ads not a targeted one related to crypto/bitcoin.

Reporting them's a good idea but Facebook should be doing more to remove fake ads. The ads should've been checked by humans before being shown to ppl. They shouldn't allow AI to certify ads because scams will get through.

Those are usual Facebook ads. Facebook does not monitor what they are advertising. I believe they do not verify the ads, so we see scam ads. I often see crypto casino ads showing fake winnings and the balance credited to the bank, etc. The funny thing is they use Google Translate to write our local language, and those ads are pure garbage.

They use some words that do not mean anything. Scammers use Facebook ads to run various scams like money doubler website, and fake products that do not have any real usage. The important thing is, you have to use your common sense to stay away from those scams.

It's one of the biggest advertising sites in the world so they've got responsibility. They shouldn't display ads to customers if they didn't check for scams. Facebook should check every ad before posting it they shouldn't put profit before safety of their users.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that as always. With the number of fake/scam ads in facebook, it's obvious that there's no human behind accepting such ads, as long it doesn't fall against their terms of ads i guess it always be approved and shown to those millions of users on their platform

What happens when you've reported scam ads. If they're taking down scam ads it's showing commitment by Facebook but they shouldn't promote scams in the first place. They've got resources to make sure each ad gets seen by a human before it's published. I'd say Facebook isn't behaving responsibly until they've tried their best to stop scam ads.

Then, I'll suggest you to write email to their security and perhaps marketing team about how they should behave and what criteria should they look for instead of writing it here because, as I am sure you can guess, it's rather pointless.
