Facebook, a pace people go to lie. Beware.

Who knows, they may send you a knock off or something. Then when you tell all your friends about this great deal, the “store” will have a slew of new visitors (and potential victims for credit card fraud, malware, etc.).

I wonder why FB allows this shit to happen. Don't they vett the people that place ads? Don't they get some kind of revenue from these ads?

agillot

Are you kidding? Yes, they get revenue but don't want to delete it on the cost of investigating every advertiser.
What they should do is what banks now require...Photo ID before opening an advertising account, or, for that matter, opening a Facebook account.

After all the continuing discussions on UHH, a member did this? As Barnum said.........

Facebook is in the business of making as much money for their shareholders as possible. So whatever generates the most revenue without giving them too much of a bad rap is what they will do. Only when fake ads like this start cutting into their legitimate company ad revenue will they police it.

Fraud is fraud.

They must have used a pretty good size hook to catch that big a fish. OMG I cannot believe people fall for this. Sad.

I ignore all ads and commercials. If I have a need, I only head to known reliable sources.

Ive bought direct from China too but check first. The cautionary suggestions posted here matter. But then I lived in Asia for many years and know my way around out there.

If a site has been up for a short time, I’d avoid them only for that reason.

Every now and then someone gets it...typically a lost child of the 60's.

The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime. I am proudly 71, got promoted to space admiral a year or so back. Nice running into you out here. Bill

Harvey, Oh yes; they have you by the short horn. If you can, you should immediately secure your system, (immediately install plugins and block popups). Hopefully your main computer your photography work and secure data is on, isn't affected. If you don't have time, find a friend who is adept or pay a professional. Always use known software, not acquired from unknown sites; scan your system and rid it of all the malware, spyware, viruses that is probably living there. Don't be afraid of going the nuclear option; wiping a system and going secure before going online is always the best option, when you've been compromised. Having a good firewall/router is a given, whether it's a PfSense box or a higher end consumer model (Asus with Merlin FW is a good start). Consider dumping/deleting your FB account after you download your FB history/content to a flash or USB drive, if you need it, secure it. Millions have dump FB, and others started over. All this takes a bit of time at first but it gets easier if you're vigilant. Some people can't be bothered and will just let it slide.

Email on it's own is a tough love project; people usually install insecure browsers provided in the OS, and email clients are much the same. If you don't have a password/credit card manager/vault, it's like handing out your new smartphone number on FB, you're giving it to the planet. Now that they have you, they know everything; if you don't take action, you'll be hit with more spam and scams (ahem), pop-ups, etc. Having worked for many years in secure aspects of the computer security trade and most aren't used to keeping current, and trust an 'install and forget' mentality to keeping their online activities safe. Doesn't work that way, but once you learn it and keep up, it a natural mindset, similar to feeling a photo and the settings to shoot it, without wondering how to set the camera, which makes it a creative craft, not a chore. It's not funny, how so many good people still don't know how to use readily available valid sources of information to protect their financial information. You learn how to shoot your own camera, so learn how to avoid doing this again. Canceling your credit card is good advice but go further and cancel all cards connected to your/your family accounts immediately. Get all of the credit reports and put a fraud alert on everything. Your bank/credit card company can put a rush on new cards free or at reduced prices, as long as you don't do it too often. Don't buy anything from foreign or unknown web sites; the good sites are easy enough for the bad guys to fake. Learn how to track down the info as shown, where the site is; any company, any number, any user can be anywhere on earth. In all cases with popups,; walk away and never click; close the tab. If you aren't looking for the camera at a reputable site first, you're being scammed by someone who's already in your system, watching what you do. Purchasing through a known secured intermediary, Adorama or Amazon comes to mind, since they use genuine credit card processors, not credit card service providers which are run by not so good guys. If you're in the market for a new 4-bedroom condo with a great beachfront view in Bellinghousen Station, it's rustic. the air is clean and there's great wildlife photo opportunities, and yours tomorrow for only $1K down. (Jest-winking). Good luck. sv
