Beware Phishing sites in facebook related to free BNB and Solana!!!

[Yaunfitda]

Seems they prioritize ads revenue rather than checking on what are the types of services been promoted on their platform.

I've seen lot of this scam ads when I visit their platform.

I  think that maybe there's none from their team moderating those scams and this is the reason those scammers take advantage those situation to promote then spread their phising sites. So what I usually do when I see that deceiving ads is to report it and hope that their support will decide to take down those scam post.

It does not take them any long time for checking but their decisions against our reports and refuse to take any action of shutting down such scam advertisements on their platforms, together shows that they are strongly supporting scammers.

It's a hell social media platform when their policy turns to strongly support scammers like this. They're a Big Tech and have full technical capacity to build up automatic tools for checking links of advertisements. It's not too hard or challenging for a Big Tech company like Meta, it only shows that they changed entirely and turned to be a scam heaven platform.

Meta is obviously after the money, if this scammers can pay them to broadcast their phishing sites and to trick users to click and then download or reveal their secret seed to them then, it's a win for this cyber criminals. And even if you report them to Meta, it will take time to shut it down and it's almost late as there could be a big possibility that someone has fallen for the trick again. And then the criminals will just rinse and repeat it. And if I'm not mistaken, there are reports that Meta should have at least someone to manually review each ads but I doubt that it is happening right now. As this kind of ads is prevalent in every language.

It's creepy once you click the sponsored link it will redirect you on the similar domain above. It seems that the owner of this site have multiple campaigns with different attractive offers. I'm sure some newbies will fall for this since the landing page looks similar as the official one.

Let's just wait and see if, after all this there scam promotion one security data analysis company will have to give a rough estimate of how many people were scammed and how much was stolen. For now, we just hope people notice it is scam and avoid it, since those social media platforms where they are being promoted are not ready to take action yet.

The bad thing is why it still keep popping up on my FB even I reported them already.

When you were reporting the ads did you select not to see similar ads again? I believe we have such an option when blocking and reporting suspected ads on Facebook.

I think similar ads would still show even if you reported it. As what you can read on the quote above, I can vouch that it still shows something like the ads you reported even if I choose repetitive ads. In my opinion, as long as there's money paid to advertise those ads then it will surely displays those ads. I think they didn't put much effort in checking the ads if it's scams or not or someone just did it intentionally for money.

This is a paid targeted advertising campaign launched by scammers, and it's difficult to avoid on social media platforms where advertising is a primary source of revenue. Platforms like Reddit, which have stricter oversight of advertising, are in a better position.

Because scammers don't just register the same ad with one account. I don't know how it works; if there's some sort of ad relevance option and each account chooses a different option, you'll see similar ads even if you only report them multiple times. These types of ads can even appear in children's content.

Facebook is shit.

These scam and phishing advertisements appeare a long time already and you would feel more surprised if you know that Facebook refused to remove such scam advertisements.

If you don't believe me, you can report those scam advertisements and wait for results from Facebook.

I did reported those scam advertisements, and firstly I am surprised to see Facebook take several days or two weeks to handle my reports, and secondly they gave me results that they won't remove those advertisements as they see no reason to do that.

You can try reporting and verify my information about bad scam moderation from Facebook.

No, Facebook is not shit but scammers are shit!

This is not peculiar to only Facebook, it happens in any other platform you can think of and there's nothing we can do. Even Google is now accuse of same thing (promoting scam) as they allow scam links to appear in the front page when you use their search engine.

The truth is scam can not be completely moderated. It exists in this forum too and the forum made it clear that it can not moderate forum but will try as much as possible to minimise it. Hence, it introduces the trust system to help fight against the scam.

The highest we can do is to report scam whenever we come across one and allow the management to the rest. As for Facebook handling your report lately, you should understand that they deal with thousands if not millions of reports and that's why they usually indicate how long you have to wait to get a feedback. Moreover, Facebook disclaim having anything to do with these scam links thou. They can not be entirely blamed for this.

When using the social media, we have to be very careful, because there are lots of attempts there that tends to spy on our privacy and look into how they could create vulnerability in us and steal from us, but this is not possible if we are not also contributing to it, and one of the ways we can do that at unaware is when greed came over us, or when we cannot afford to distinguish between what can harm us pretending as on offer to us, which is why we often continue advising for security alertness as measures to combat against any means to attack us.

Are the ads on Facebook paid? Does that mean they pay Facebook to create these ads? Because if you look at the words ‘sponsored’ I believe ads like this are paid.

How does their account subscribe to the blue tick verification? Will the ads disappear?
Because what I know in X is that if you subscribe to the blue tick then the ads will disappear halfway, if you subscribe to the yellow tick then there are no more ads.

This was all over social media, but usual see a lot of this kind of scam advertisement on Facebook.

I mean, it was really easy to spot if you know what I'm talking about. There are a lot of red flags about this kind of post that you could easily get suspicious about,
First thing is if it is sponsored, meaning it is a boost post by the page, so that a lot of people are going to see it, even though the page doesn't really have a huge following or something.
The graphic design was always off, it was kinda have a sloppy job and didn't really have the right color most of the time for the certain platform that it is promoting.
You're always getting something that is too good to be true, it is just a commong tactics of scammers, like saying that you won a certain amount of money, or just register and get money instantly.
Also, check the actual page, and you could easily see that it is not a legitimate page, or it is just pretending to be, sometimes comments on the posts are obviously fake, and a lot are already saying it's a scam.

The easiest way was just to find the legitimate platform on your own, if binance have giveaway go to the binance it self using the legitimate platform and find the giveaway there not on clicking some links.

Well, you could be right, as this platform's owners are more concerned about the money they want to make than their users' safety and privacy concerns.

In my own case, a few ads and some uninteresting videos which popped up on my timeline which I have reported in the past. I have barely come across them again. Maybe because I don't spend much time scrolling could be the reason, or the ads are not promoted as much as these BNB phishing scams are in different methods.

As far as I know, there's no paid option to disable ads. Facebook's blue tick is earned solely through engagement efforts and a few other metrics, but it actually displays ads at the end of content instead of removing them. And yes, you have to pay Facebook to place ads, and I believe scammers are exploiting this by filling in all the ad categories and target audiences so that it will be relevant ads displayed on all types of content worldwide.

[Chinesebaby]

Anyone got similar ads below?
It seems they are targeting me because most of the ads I saw are related to free airdrops and free coins and click two of them BNB and Solana I thought it will bring me to the right website but I redirected to a phishing website.

So does that means you like free stuff? Lolz 😂😂... However I haven't come across such ads here in my regain on Facebook, maybe your regain was targeted most for this ads, and it's probably someone from your region might have created these ads, as an avenue to lure people into this fake crypto investment scheme that obviously looks like a scam. Because I think it was around 2020/2021 that I came across this type of ads on Facebook last, when people probably had little or no knowledge about crypto investment fully unlike now. So the best is to just avoid or create awareness like this which you just did.

Maybe you need to check how social media now works. Back then, you can win a verified badge through effort and been active on the platform or even through profile. Now, it's a money revenue for social media founders. I think it was X that started this, they stripped all users their badge and implement a subscription badge which is monthly and yearly, anyone can register new account had have it verified immediately and they get the money.

You can buy verified badge and there are even benefits they brings for the account, you don't have to worry about banned when you act like a bot. These days, you can get your account banned if they see your profile behave like a bot account.
