LPT make your Facebook “let others see you your friends are” hidden/private to anyone on Facebook so the scam artists can’t replicate your profile and add all your existing friends in an attempt to scam them. It’s within the security settings. I am frequently having fake profiles of friends I already have on Facebook attempt to add me. Then they start a conversation with anyone who does add them and attempt to do some fraud. submitted by /u/Indecisivelydecisive

It suggested $70 as a good starting amount and I specifically zoned in my ad to only run in North America. I tracked my website visits and enormous spike on website visits from Morocco. Multiple visits until it drained my $70 ad budget. Has anyone …
