Force Facebook to stop Fraudulent Traders on the site.


Force Facebook to stop Fraudulent Traders on the site.
The Issue
I recently fell victim to a fraudulent clothing shop advert on Facebook. The website is appealing and seemed credible to me at the time. I lost money and due to health issues, was unable to tackle the issue in time and 7 months later felt able to do so. Unfortunately it was too late for my bank to help.
I started digging and realised that this fraudulent trader has scammed many hundreds and possibly many thousands online, internationally. They continue to take money and fail to deliver the goods.
I realise that the marketplace has warnings in place - but this is appropriate for sole traders only. Those expressing themselves as company traders need much more rigorous checking and restrictions.
Please sign and share. There must be many fake traders like this and the consequences of this crime in a world of poverty, are unthinkable.
This could be funding human trafficking, illicit drug exports, illegal weapon sales and more.
