Facebook doesn’t have a problem taking regular people like me off facebook but they can’t seem to do anything about the criminals. Go figure
I work at a bank and tell people every week...If it sounds too good to be true, it's a scam!
Facebook could easily check credentials of advertisers before allowing on. Congress needs to hold them accountable with astronomic fines.
sorry to hear someone's using your likeness without your permission. Crazy world we live in...
Mike, so you are telling me, that the $1000 I sent you for your 'Save The Nebraska Snow Crab Project' was in fact a scam???
Its 2025 your BS detector must remain charged at all times.
Love some Mike Rowe! Honest guy! We need more like him!
My rule of thumb is that I do NOT do business with ANYONE I didn't contact myself. No ads, no contests, no discounts, nothing. I do not care what someone online (or by phone, email, etc) offers. If I need something, I will go look for it. I also don't accept any advertising that suddenly shows up when I'm researching something. I do not trust any damn thing on the Internet. I treat it the same as I treat scam callers.
My outgoing message reads "I never, ever answer calls from numbers that aren't in my address book, so leave a message and I'll call you back or just keep wasting your time calling me. I'll never answer."
It's not mischief. It's fraud! These people need to be found , investigated, and prosecuted.
