The problem of Facebook nowadays is that they aren’t regulating or reviewing these ads carefully before approving. They should dig deeper by looking at the website if it’s legitimate or malicious. As these scams on Facebook ads cannot be avoided, at least newbies and beginners should use their common sense and ask the experienced ones to check the ad’s legitimacy instead of getting in to the hype immediately without doing their own researching.
You are right, now Facebook is no longer filtering real ads, even anyone can enter the ad without strict supervision, so more and more fraud will occur on Facebook social media compared to other social media, even with a blue tick it's just a disguise a lot of fraud committed by them.
Common sense must really be used, anyone who gives an airdrop or some kind of unreasonable giveaway must be suspected and reported.

Creating ads on Facebook and Google is already automated as long as you are not using the keywords arms/drugs /gambling you can have your ads shown to the audience that you want to target, all these two big giants companies want is money flowing in continuously, we will still go down to being educated on how to look on a project don't rely on ads or recommendation always rely on your knowledge it's your money and they don't care.

Looking for gigs
What happened: There are quite a lot of scams happening now on Facebook with what we see including Apple, WhatsApp, Tesla, etc. I'm afraid that people will be tempted by their fake offers, but it's possible that ordinary people will get caught up in their fake sales.
But every time I found Axie Infinity with the same thing when "ROLL" got a big prize for asking to connect the wallet later, of course, what they asked for was the phrase/seed.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
The only two things we can do are

1. Spread awareness about such scams, how they operate and how they manage to fool users into sending their seed-phrase which gives full control over their money to the scammers. This thread is a good example of such awareness thread. (Preventive approach)

2. Report the same to Facebook through their website or app. Point is that this is probably not going to have an effect unless a large number of users report it from different parts of the world. This can be done by the members of the forum and possible victims of the scam while remaining completely anonymous. (Curative approach)

We all know that prevention is better than cure, so better gain knowledge about such scams and learn how to avoid them.

This kind of advertisement on Facebook will not be stopped they don't filter their ads as long as there are no reports they will keep showing it, it made us think if there are no employees in the advertising section of Facebook that have knowledge of how Cryptocurrency works if they have knowledge I'm sure they will deny ads that ask for phrase/seed, once you asked for people's phrase/seed you could be marked as scammers.

Nice catch!

Facebook ads are known to be, for the most part, lacking in quality. I'm surprised there hasn't been more reports of fake airdrop ads on the Facebook platform.
