My wife got duped by an ad on Facebook (they also advertise on MySpace, which is worse IMO).
This particular ad links to one of several duplicate/fake blogs touting a dietary supplement and then linking to a free-trial. If you don't cancel before the end of the 14-day trial (by phone), you are charged $89 (for a supplement that costs $7 at a health food store). Of course, no one answers the phone number you must call to cancel. It took a lot of paperwork with my bank to get the charges refunded–quite a pain.
It's a well-known scam and my wife takes much of the blame for not doing the proper due-diligence ... however, I think FB and MySpace would be wise to screen their advertisers better.
We did submit the info to FB and were told they would "look into it"
