Fraud, Scams and Deceptive Practices
Ads Must Comply with the Community Standard on Fraud, Scams and Deceptive Practices.
Overview
We aim to protect users and businesses from being deceived out of their money, property or personal information. We achieve this by removing content and combatting behavior that purposefully employs deceptive means – such as wilful misrepresentation, stolen information and exaggerated claims – to either scam or defraud users and businesses, or to drive engagement. This includes content that seeks to coordinate or promote these activities using our platform. We allow people to raise awareness and educate others as well as condemn these activities.
Enforcement
We have the same policies around the world, for everyone on Facebook.
Review teams
Our global team of over 15,000 reviewers work every day to keep people on Facebook safe.
Stakeholder engagement
Outside experts, academics, NGOs and policymakers help inform the Facebook Community Standards.
