And even if this is for mobile Android version, if you look at Facebook today, you will still find this kind of ads, mostly crypto exchange like Binance and others. And I also remember that we have that thread here as well giving warnings so that we won't fall for it. So now, it's the next best thing after crypto exchange and then mobile phone, it's one of the most used apps for us, Tradingview. Hopefully no one will fall here as there was a warning already. Maybe for experience traders, who won't, but there are thousands of newbies like every day trying to get their hands on crypto and maybe this is the target of this criminals.

Doesn't Facebook have all the necessary means and funds to hire people to double check the enlistment of their ads before approval? If this were the case that they accept ads that have hidden malware or deceitful ads that trick people, then that is more reason that we should be more vigilant whenever we click random links on all social media platforms.

What you also said is right- if we cannot altogether absolutely prevent people from getting scammed, the least thing that we can do is to consistently inform everyone about new scams and other hacks that can alert at least some of us.

I also agree to blame the ad providers because of their inability to anticipate malware in every new ad added to their systems. I fully understand that ads come in daily, and it's likely not human to screen them. This would require a large team to do it manually. This is what allows malware and phishing ads to slip through so easily. I often report ads I don't like, but it still doesn't help, because if I report company A, company B will be the one running the same ad. It seems that advertisers use 3rd parties to distribute ads to avoid blocking and reporting.

Like I mentioned above, Facebook is a billion dollar company. They can easily have all the necessary security measures if they designate and allocate such budget for that. But the fact that there are advertisements being approved despite being a scam really bugs me about their system.
