Kinnock Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I've given up reporting scams on Facebook, all you get is an auto-note reply in about 30 seconds saying it does not go against their policies. I belong to a motorcycle group on FB and 3 or 4 times a week there's some scammer posting parts for sale using photos from an old post. A reverse image search on Google Lens will find the original photos, and the Group Mods are good at banning the scammers, but then a new one will appear a few days later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even care when someone is scamming in Facebook's name. Two times, I got a direct message warning me that Facebook was about to close my account. I had to log in on a special page and ask for it not to be closed. It was of course a fake website and the message was not from an official Facebook company user. I reported the message and explained that it was an attempt to get my login code to Facebook. The first time, I never got a reply. The second time, I got a reply after a couple of weeks saying that the user/the message did not contain anything against Facebook's policies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 19 hours ago, Lemsta69 said: However too many businesses here in Krung Thep use FB instead of creating their own webpage so I'm forced to use it from time to time. If a business can't be bothered to set up a professional website then they aren't professional enough for me to deal with them. It really doesn't cost much, and their don't care attitude should be a red flag. It's very common in Thailand for the locals to do that, and it's just a sign of laziness and unprofessionalism.

Deals are not good on marketplace. Everything I have seen is overpriced I had been looking for at least 6 months for a replacement monitor for a spare PC, checking daily What I could find in the 22" > 24" segment cost between 2 and 3000 baht for 5 year and older monitors with imperfections, and of course no guarantee, and a lot of scams, as i have posted in my thread a while ago. I finally bought a brand-new 23" Dahua with 3 years warranty for 1800 baht on Shopee Edited February 13 by BenStark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a friend request from a fb friend 2 days after he died… I reported but they didn’t shut the profile down. I also received one from my aunt, which they also haven’t taken down. The fb reporting system is a quagmire of bureaucracy. As to your friend, just don’t pay until the item is inspected… convenient ? No. Is it more convenient than losing your money… yes. Is there any difference between Facebook scammers and Lazada with their cheating sellers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
