Facebook Marketplace scamming

Post by Spike188 »

Facebook claims that due to privacy concerns they no longer post the joined date of the Facebook seller. This makes it impossible to know if this is just a repeat listing by a newly created account for the purpose of scamming. There are two Marketplace ad for our area by persons posting "avoid this xxxxxc seller. They are scamming."

Facebook/Meta doing anything over "privacy cocerns" is pretty laughable...
