I can't tell you how many obviously-fake profiles and scammers I report, and see other people commenting about reporting, only for them to still be around days, weeks, sometimes even months later.

All of these were obvious scammers directing traffic to a single profile - some forex guru or whatever. Shilling get-rich-quick schemes doesn't meet Facebook's definition of "spam", apparently.

What a garbage app.

Ironically you have to be careful doing this, as their systems can ban you for too many reports, if they aren't all flagged as 'legitimate' scammers. The last time I filed a report I had this new warning show up at the bottom prior to submission

I love the rhetoric:

> You anonymously reported ...

> You *anonymously* reported ...

> *You* *anonymously* reported...

"Greetings, human. We have masked your identity from... o̧u͢rs̢e͘lv́e҉s."
