@bdccarpenter: Social media scams. Slightly scared to post this. Social media platforms, please don’t penalise me lol. Last week, a couple of you sent me an advert… of me. Yes, a video of mine appeared in an advert from a company I have NEVER heard of, promoting something I DO NOT endorse. As you can imagine, I don’t love this, so I reported it. As of now, this advert is still live. Many pages have impersonated me, reposted my videos, built sizable followings (one got up to 70,000 people lol) and then asked you to message them on other platforms. Make no mistake about it, these are people trying to scam you. It worries me that these pages apparently do not go against social media rules, and they are allowed to continue trying to scam you. Surely this isn’t right? Calling social media platforms to try and do better. P.S., at the end of each post, I post a reminder that if you enjoy my content and would like to support me, you can preorder my new book ‘Fat Loss Habits’, a practical and actionable fat loss book which releases in January. It is currently on sale with a 17% extra discount on Amazon U.K. and a 10% extra discount on Amazon U.S, available via the Iink on my page. #scam #scammeralert #scams #tiktok #youtube #facebook #instagram

Is it better for us to report them as fraud/scam or pretending to be someone? I just did several as fraud but then thought I should ask in case 1 is better than the other.

It's because the moderation is done by algorithm that scans all reports for keywords. if none are found then nothing happens

there is no such thing as Internet security anymore, once your information exists online, it's there forever, and companies like tiktok own your likeness now
