unfortunately this happens quite a lot. I've seen it 1st hand (in my employment for someone that was being impersonated). Even though I've seen it 1st hand quite a lot, it still astounds me how gullible people can be. People with lots of money, people with little money, people who are comfortable and have no desire to 2x their net wealth... all it takes is a lack of focus, or a brain fart or just a little too much easily placed trust. FB don't give a shit. They just want the advertising $$. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/26/andrew-forrest-hits-back-at-facebook-claim-he-signed-away-his-rights https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/26/andre... This response is complete bullshit as well

Presumably Forrest has limited recourse against the advertisers because they're behind shell companies (or similar) in countries with limited legal consequences. As a result, I can't see a solution that doesn't involve countries requiring publishers to filter advertising sources. I'm guessing this sort of thing isn't politically urgent or important so the public is left dealing with the mess. Without an ad blocker, I can't see how you could even start to escape scams getting in your face.

  Make the publisher accountable. which is what he's trying to do.
