This may not be the best place to post, but... I'm trying to get this thing banned from facebook. I don't know where else it/they may be posting. So if you see a company advertising something you might want.....

There is a scammer who keeps changing their FB web page to spoof a real snowcat company. They have used at least 5 different real companies pages to try to scam people. The common item is if you go to their facebook webpage the phone number is 5125234365 . I've complained to facebook, but their system doesn't think it's a violation. PLEASE complain if you see it.

Can you post some screenshots?

This would help a lot of members and expose the scammer.
 
I don't want to post too many photo's as they depict real companies, but here is a few spoofed. They look real, as they do a good job of stealing images. if you see a post, look at the when, where and then google the company and contact them directly if interested.

I saw an article stating that Zuckerburg has been informed of many scammers advertising on FB but he takes no action as he wants the advertising money and says it is not his job to validate each and every advertiser. Zuck is a guy with no morals.
 
Seems the scammer infiltrated the classic car arena as well. Spent the morning contacting companies about spoofed pages.

Since this cretin doesn't use "sponsored" FB doesn't get direct ad revenue from them. But they rely on a AI/Bot to referee the complaints. If enough people complain it seems to trigger a response. OR if the spoofed company complains they seem to get the page pulled. Then at least they have to do it all over again. since they change the email each time it seems to escape any filters FB might be using.
 
Heads up everyone. The scammer that spoofs real snowcat companies (among others) has apparently blocked me. So, I can no longer get any search results using their phone numbers. I have reason to believe they are still active. The latest numbers they are using: (512)523-4365 and 813-756-2106
 
Bucking fastards. Someone needs to catch them and bury them somewhere where the sun don't shine....like a long cat ride into the permafrost.

GOOD INFO

If you find more please keep us informed
 
Kitten of mine was for sale on FB at the same time I was working on it.

I trollled the scam and bought it back for a deal. Made it easy with zelle etc.

Finally showed the scam I had the merch already. Scammer then pivoted to I’m a scam.

Documented the entire situation told Zuck and they kept it up due to some social happiness clause at the time.

Social is a broken grouser;(
