It doesn’t matter reporting them Facebook, I do this for Rent to Own properties with way too low rent payments. FB says they review the posts and it doesn’t go against their community standards. The posts even Include malicious links to give scammers your credit info. All the postings have the same photo shopped “For Rent” sign. People need to secure their FB accounts better.

Funny but I ran into the same problem several times in Florida trying to buy a metal detector. I realized they were scams when I told them I wanted to come to there house to look at it. Of course they wanted me to send them the money and they would send me the detector. Now I know how to repot them. Thanks

@1:00 I guess you're going to get to it, but to me these top three are obviously scams, look at the price, everyone knows each of these trucks are with four+ times the amount shown. Other hint to me is too good of photos.

People don’t take the time to read the description of these ads. The thousand dollars or $1500 is not the cost of the vehicle. It is a down payment. Now that could turn into a scam but the $1500 or thousand dollars is not the cost of the vehicle read the description. Many times these are dealerships that are selling their vehicles and they’re letting you know there’s a down payment.

So what happens to the real accounts of those used/stolen by the scammers?

[@BruceChastain]

@9:45 lol well half scam, of course you're not going to pick that car up for anywhere near that price.

Do you know why in some listings when you click the 3 dots it doesn't give an option to report listing

What about for sale car ads on Facebook profiles

[@getplaning]

I have reported dozens of scams and fraudulent or objectionable posts to Facebook. Facebook sends back a boilerplate response saying they reviewed the posts and they don’t go against their community standards. Sometimes the reply comes back in seconds. They aren't reviewing anything.

If face book is worried about fake info why don’t they do something about these fake ads. Tks for sharing.

WHERE! Where can people go to find / buy used RV/ Van / car online if Facebook Marketplace/ eBay/ Craigslist is not good with a bunch of scammer ads. Low income people are less looking for used RV/ Van/ cars for $5000 or less

[@michaelbodell111]

I live in United States and Michigan and soon as I see the picture I know it's a scam most vehicles at that price are going to be rusty trusty specially here in Michigan
