Ask HN: How often do you see scam ads on your FB feed?

2 pointsby chungleongabout 6 years ago
I get them practically every single day. Just now I received a second ad pointing to the same exact fraudulent offering:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newzem.com&#x2F;index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&amp;product_id=1445<p>By a different vendor with a different randomly generated name.<p>What I&#x27;m curious about is whether these scam ads show up in the feeds of American users. I&#x27;m residing in Poland currently. I seriously suspect that I&#x27;m getting this garbage because the likelihood of a civic lawsuit is negligible in this part of the world.
