Is Facebook Scamming You?

Is Facebook Scamming You?

Meta scam ads are out of control. In this episode of the Scammer Payback Podcast, we dig into Reuters-reviewed internal documents that allege Meta (Facebook and Instagram) makes serious money from scam ads.

With expert insight from Laura Edelson (Cybersecurity for Democracy Lab) and Martin Wolf (Financial Times), we break down how ad targeting, algorithm-driven feeds, deepfake investment scams, and “penalty bids” can keep fraud profitable.

Special Thanks to J Walker Smith, Laura Edelson, and Martin Wolf.
