Facebook’s ad vetting systems questioned
Facebook says that it has removed ads for a get rich quick scam that appeared on the site for weeks before being noticed by staff. Users still report that some of the ads remain on the site and are being re-published at a rate faster than the site can review. The ads appear as signed up to post links under a “Google advertising” programme. The scam invites users to a page, run by a company dubbed “EMillionaire”. Users are invited to submit their details to see if they are eligible to take part in the programme.The scheme requests to pay US$1.90 to take part.
Two affected users who published warnings on the RipOffReport.com website said they have been charged US$197 by a company called “Marquilife”. When calls were made to refund the money no action was taken what so ever.
