Hi all,

I've been bothered by an ad on facebook marketplace, for a person selling a super expensive bicycle for £120 but he will only sell it "if you send him half in advance" (in other words, it's a scam where he wants to steal £60...). It has been up for several weeks. I messaged the dude asking him whether anyone had fallen for the trick. and he replied with what appeared to be threats of violence. I thought that Facebook would take the ad down, but I have reported it (and the seller) several times, and it's STILL UP three weeks later.

This is a lesson to be VERY careful on Facebook marketplace (if you didn't already know) and more importantly, Facebook doesn't care about obvious scams, even when they are reported. Does anyone have ideas on how to get Facebook to stop ignoring me? I doubt the police will do anything. Here's a link (if it works): https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2048596881945579

It took am immense amount of political pressure to get Facebook to remove material that was advocating genocide - I think you might be in for a long wait if you expect them to act on a simple scam.
