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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

Quote from: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/afexeu.com

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.

e.g.

Quote from: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/afexeu.com

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.

Since i joined on some online security related fb group I saw some instances that some of the community report some of these obvious scam yet facebook just rejected their report and continue showing the ad lmao, even some famous fb personality reporting those scam ad doesn't work.

I can relate I used to report a lot of ads but they keep popping up in my feeds so I just choose to hide ads in one Facebook setting, and most of the time it works, on social media you are the product so you are part of their algorithm and once you are part of it the ads just keep coming, it's better to prefer to hide ads or totally ignore all the ads on Facebook compared to other sites there are annoying pops up, on Facebook, it's part of your feeds and you can continue to scroll and it's not that annoying.
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.

Facebook shouldn't show scam ads. If they're reported they've got to be removed instantly. Scammers aren't wasting time by playing games they're after your money. They'll make fake videos if it helps their cause. What's important about your search history's what makes Facebook show ads. Their algo shows ads you'll be interested in so if you’re looking at cryptocurrency pages they'll show you cryptocurrency ads.

This fake news video must have been done by scammers and I always report the ads but it comes back again. I also saw the comments in Facebook that the platform helped them earned money but I believe it is a fake comments made by scammers with fake or hacked Facebook profile.

Facebook ads are targeted to people like you who are looking for such services. Facebook does not check whether the ad is a scam or not, they approve the ad without checking the website in detail. Because no one cares about you if you fall victim to a scam by seeing ads on their platform, everyone focuses more on how to run their business, and Facebook is no exception. Facebook has not moderated ads before, yet they are doing the same thing. So if you see any advertisement on Facebook, it is a good decision to refrain from clicking on them to avoid being a victim of any scam.

How am I creating backlink?

You put the links of the scammers in the topic and this leads to the possibility of visiting the links by clicking on them intentionally or by mistake, so you have to put the links within a text of code like this:

Code:

https://ifinma.com/firm?id=320

or

Code:

https://ifinma*****

Also this link looks like a referral link? Why not put the name of the site only without links so as not to help scammers and so that some do not think that the referral link is for you.

That's how every big companies selling their ad space to anyone who wants like Google. They will announce that they have strict protocol accepting ads so that authorities won't go to them asking things, yet you will see an obvious annoying and scam ads almost everyday, thinking how their quality assurance work.

Hello,

Why does Facebook allows ads for Elon musk to present opportunity for bitcoin auto trading using Quantum AI?

You are talking about Facebook while Elon musk own platform twitter is big promoter of these scam project and there is no strict rules for these scammers any where, even google search engine you will see many phishing sites which has been reported many times here.

The strange thing that scamadviser give afexeu dot com a very good score how can that happen? They write fake good reviews to give the rating high?

Yes quite possible because buying review is possible and there is whole team who are working on giving fake reviews.

I requested you to change website to non clickable because it will create backlink and free promotion here too. I have changes in quote tweet too so that make easy to edit the post.

Sounds like an old-timer scammer. Making you install software so they can access your computer is from the time of dinos. If you still fall for it, I don't know what that would make you.
$250 still is hard to earn these days, you won't get that by just sitting on your porch so it's best to just ignore those calls and move on.

Just like any other scam today, they can make people believe the testimonies and ranking. They know people will research them and find out the truth so they set up those good ratings and pay reviewers.

and the website looks professional and claimed to be featured on cnn and other news.

It's not professional at all if you've seen this kind of scam tactics before, it just looks like a normal $2 wordpress template. You should also notice the similarity of some of the following site layouts which I believe are also run by scammers:

- coinvexpro.com
- first-coin.net
