Platform for scam advertisers

Facebook allows fake companies to scam consumers and has no interest in preventing this from happening. I was ripped off - along with many - by a company Smoothtone UK claiming to be London based. The advert is not only grossly misleading but sends out dodgy products from China and cuts off communication on receipt of goods. Its advert doctors reviews and instantly removes negative feedback. Yet the Facebook bots reject any report claiming it does “not breach community standards”. If the hundreds of people being scammed could actually raise a complaint with a human, it might realise the harm being done. But clearly revenue from sponsors outweighs legitimate consumer concerns. Shame on you Facebook.

Facebook/Instagram/Meta

In the past year I was hacked two times on FB. The first time they got directly into my FB account, were able to sign in & out for over a year! FB did nothing, no response, nada! I had my personal email & PayPal from a donation I made on FB three years prior, they would not take this down, fur a year I asked them to take this down! Then in the past month I had linked my I Seagram account with my long-standing FB account, big mistake, do not do it!! I set up two businesses between FB & Instagram, my main source of promotion, marketing, contacts. I ended up getting hacked through my Instagram business account, I was messaged by two fake profiles, I realized and reported these profiles, deleted my Instagram business account & deleted my FB account linked to Instagram account. Apparently FB/Meta/Instagram dies whatever it wants! Even after deleting these accounts, reporting the fake profiles & scammers, the following day they deleted all my Facebook & Instagram accounts, I appealed, there was no way to contact anyone at Facebook, meta or Instagram! I filed with the FTC, there is a current lawsuit to break up this unethical, immoral, illegal Entity: Facebook, Meta, Instagram! As well as the $50 billion dollar payout fur illegally using member accounts FB personal information! I reported the disabling of my accounts, unwarranted & unjustified to my states attorney general division of consumer affairs, hopefully I will get some justice here! Thousands & thousands of people have been disabled, hacked, subjected to bike, hate, pornographic, mysoginistic posts. Yet FB, Meta, Instagram allows horrible, unethical, immoral & illegal content! They have taken 20 years of personal professional content without warning or justification, all gone!! FB, Meta, Instagram needs to be dismantled and they need to be stopped for all these untoward issues!

Privacy violation that is becoming harassment. First they revealed your account photo that you had put as private, without any warning now they did the same with the number of the friends. Did this greedy for your privacy and life company realise there are stalkers, a lot of them around or that you may use facebook only for specific reasons and it forces to use a fake name to protect yourself?

Facebook refuses to remove comments including blatant bigotry, misogyny, ableism, racism, and people threatening violence to others. They have no problem allowing comments from obvious scammers but God forbid you call someone a silly goose for using hate speech, you will be unable to comment on anything for a week (yes this actually happened) At this point they are promoting and supporting all forms of hate speech and it's disgusting and unacceptable.

Trying to list a compound bow sight on marketplace but keep getting message it goes against their rules on selling weapons , strange when a sight is classed as a weapon but bows and arrows are not , every appeal I have lodged gets ignored and threatened with being banned from marketplace if I continue to try and list it . I've typed in bows and arrows on marketplace and their are loads of them being sold but for some reason it's just MY sight that is deadly dangerous and not the bows and arrows that they have allowed to be listed .

I don't recommend anyone to ever start…

I don't recommend anyone to ever start a business that relies on Facebook. They prompt you to use it for your business and then destroy you. Your account will be locked because AI found a photo that they deemed sexually explicit but in real life it's just a normal photo with nothing explicit about it. Then they block your account and your messenger for days for sending an adult solicitation while you just sent a link to your website to a potential customer. They don't just stop you from posting, no, they stop you from replying to potential customers in your own group and messenger. Facebook needs to be taken to court for the damage they cause, not only to businesses but also with the censorship that they employ which they believe is the right thing but then years later it turns out they were wrong. Their decisions cost lives.The funny thing is, they can't even stop REAL spammers from doing damage, you report a clear spam account and in return, they'll block your account. I have a programming background and can easily see the patterns of spammers, but hey, these billion-dollar companies can't. Today, I was writing something for an important event, as I am nearly finished after writing for 30 minutes, a pop-up appears "Your account has been restricted for 2 days", for a school photo I posted many years ago and they deemed child porn. It's a plain school photo.I say again, do not start a business on Facebook, do not store your photos and videos on Facebook as they will shut you down for no good reason and there is no one to talk to. If I have to list the companies I truly despise for the mismanagement that causes loss of money, loss of life and frustrates the heck out of you, then FB is definately in the top 5.

Facebook Terrible appalling Customer Service…

Terrible appalling Customer Service (non-existent whatsoever). When you are a real person with an issue is impossible to get a solution ( I have been about a year trying to). If you want to keep using the service, you need to delete your account and create a new profile. (that is the solution). In my case, they blocked my advertisement for 1 ad they considered didn't meet the rules. Even after paying for the verified feature, I couldn't get a solution. So, this priority customer service for paid profiles is a tremendous LIE...

I am Free now

I've been a Facebook user since 2005 and found it useful until recently. Unfortunately, I experienced a significant loss of nearly $1500 due to unauthorized use of my account for ads. Despite reporting the issue and providing all necessary documentation over two months ago, Facebook's support team has been unhelpful, only sending automated responses claiming they're looking into it. Meanwhile, my business page continues to be compromised and renamed without resolution. The support team's communication has been extremely frustrating; they ask for documents one by one instead of requesting everything at once in a single email. For instance, they've asked for screenshots, bank statements, licenses, and other files, then requested that I convert them to PDFs. This might be feasible for me, but what about other small businesses who can't easily do this. And in the next email, they asked me to combine all these PDFs into one PDF file because their support team couldn’t do so. Really? These instructions feel completely out of touch with what one might expect from a modern tech company like FB/Meta. Then they asked me to combine everything on a letterhead. Then there was more back on forth on the format of the letterhead. After I successfully complied with all these peculiar requirements, there was radio silence for almost 3 weeks. When I checked again with them, they requested three time slots for a call, and I provided five, only to receive an unexpected call outside of the agreed times, which I missed as it was marked as spam. The email response claimed the agent wasn't available during the times I provided, which begs the question: why ask for specific slots if they won't be honored? In protest, I've decided to permanently delete my personal account. While I understand this may not affect Facebook's large empire, it's my way of taking a stand against their inadequate support and security measures. To verify this is not spam, any FB executive can check 'Hacked asset | Case: 629563949390639,' submitted on May 9, along with all the string of emails and required documentation, which has unfortunately gone unaddressed

Unworkable and Totally Incompetent Security Measures

Having been locked out of my Facebook account when I updated my laptop, I thought it would be a simple matter of just logging in again. I visited the log in page, entered my details and received a code, which I duly entered. I then discover that their two part security has my old phone number on it, a number now completely obsolete, and they expect to use this to verify my identity. I changed my number months ago, and updated it across all my social media, including Facebook, however, Facebook has a thing for stubbornly trying to use outdated numbers for verification purposes, when the sensible thing would be to use the updated one. Uploading your passport and answering from a registered email address is not enough for these people. Even then, you still have to pass the obsolete phone number test, which is of course, impossible. Explaining all this to them is also impossible, because they offer no means of normal communication for some reason - no helpline, no chatline, nothing, just the odd email that (you guessed it) cannot be replied to.

Pathetic censorship

Pathetic censorship. I wrote "he needs an a$# whippin" as a comment to someone making a derogatory comment to someone in a video. They used racial slurs and f#$k but they censored my comment. In another video, several people commented that they hope the aim is better the third time when talking about President Trump and that was OK when I reported it. Double standard BS from the woke FB staff.

Facebook won't help you

Had a hacking issue, someone tried to hack me. Used the proper procedure to stop it.Ended up with me having trouble logging back into my account even though I've tried everything to get back into it. So I've given up. When I try to get in contact it's just a bot but it's not the bots fault it's the fault of the programmer! I would love to just speak to someone to reinstate my profile or just delete it all together because I don't like the fact that my personal details are on the website and I can't do anything about it! Hope people read and see this but I was a victim of a scam and nearly got hacked but this doesn't help.

It's not Facebook it's Facescam

I agree with most of these people! So many fake unvetted scammers! And here's the clue how to find out first of all do a reverse image search and you'll find out that they're ripping off pictures off the internet which is pretty easy to find! Then ask them for a video chat because there's no way to fake that and that's when they disappear I called out 70 fake accounts before I give up on Facebook dating! It's a total bullsh😡t psych job

My account was hacked and money stolen

Facebook / Meta notified me of my account being hacked, email stated that my account was on hold until I could answer my security questions. Despite this, fraudulent transactions / charges were permitted to be made on my advertising account. I have been reaching out to them every single day, multiple times daily for the last 10 days and all that you get is stock standard, most likely AI responses. Look, I understand that Facebook cannot possibly talk to every single person who has a small problem. But this is a serious violation of my privacy and a shocking display of security. Some of the responses I have received state "Since we cannot see any suspicious activity on your account, we can not help you further" (YOU NOTIFIED ME OF MY ACCOUNT BEING HACKED) "Your account appears to be active, please explain the issue further" (I HAVE EXPLAINED IT IN GREAT DETAIL IN EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE) and so it goes. My account was hacked and money stolen from me. I see online after looking around on Google that I most likely won't win, but I honestly refuse to accept that.

Facebook sent me an email saying the email address on my account was changed from somewhere in Asia so I became concerned and used another device to log in to my facebook just in case mine was compromised and I confirmed that I was logged out of my account and my email was indeed removed based on what I saw at the time and then I recovered my account and changed the password and email and notified facebook that I did not authorise this and then they decided to lock me out of my own account saying that the email removal was authorised by me from my own account and that I have to verify using my country issued ID, fast forward a few months later I submit my ID and I regain access to my account only to find 2 accounts in my name, one with my profile pic and a blank one and everytime I try to log in to the one I recognise it takes me to the other one each time. So I've decided to deactivate my account and cut my losses. I really this doesn't happen to anyone else because I lost a lot of data during this circus act. And I realised that it was just Facebook playing with my data and now they've deleted it and will admit that. I have a lot of words I'd love to use but out of respect for this platform I will not and as for Facebook. I think its best to use dummy accounts for business sake, that don't contain your real data because they will not take good care of it at all.

My Facebook personal account has been disabled because they said my linked instagram account violated their policies. It is NOT my instagram account and doesn't even appear to be a valid account on instagram. Spent hours going round in circles getting nowhere. It said to login to the instagram account to appeal. How are you supposed to do that? I suspect i've been hacked, ZERO support from Facebook to get this resolved. Can anyone from Facebook tell me HOW to communicate with them to get the fake instagram account removed and my personal facebook account, which i've had for 12 years!!!! restored? I will happily remove this review if somebody can help me!!!!!!
