    Before you all shout 'Clickbait'...let's look at it as 'Positive Clickbait'... meaning, to get maximum exposure, for the right reasons! Care in the Community. Thank me later haha. www.buymeacoffee.com/TomleyRC

    I can’t say I’ve been scammed by a Facebook ad, but I was definitely tempted by Facebook ads before. I tend to be quite a skeptic when it comes to shady advertising, so what I usually do is try to find the exact same product on Amazon. At least through Amazon they offer some consumer protection if you don’t receive the product that was advertised to you.
