I have reported over 200 scammers on Facebook. Only one (1) has been removed. It was a military general who had contacted me 16 times. I reported him for harassment, not having a fake profile or for asking me for money, even though he did. Basically, Facebook does nothing about scammers, in my personal opinion.

Since writing this I have learned a valuable lesson about reporting scammers. There is power in numbers. I have joined several scam groups whose members work together to educate about scammers and report them. Since joining, I have had most of the scammers I’ve reported removed. I cannot post here the names of the groups that are the best ones (many groups are actually run by scammers), but if you want to know, DM me and I will tell you the best ones. I also administer several of them.
