I found this on FB and the deal just looks too good to be true! I'm trying to see if its a scam or not. Not sure why the post office would sell 200 forever stamps for only $42. To me the website address looks weird too. The post office one is .com and not .net. What are your thoughts about this? www.post-service.net/ |

Scam. Post office website is usps.com. I personally think most Facebook ads are scams.

Scam. I get those pop-ads on IG and FB. If something seems interesting to me, I search for the company on my own. I don't click the link. Plus if you click, then you will be bombarded with other similar ads.
While scrolling I accidentally clicked the link for a betting/gaming site. Ugh! Now I get tons of ads for those types of sites. I'm not sure how to get them out of my algorithms now.

Thank you everyone.
I thought so too, but just wanted to check.
It was a wishful, hopeful thinking that is real. 😆😅 to get a bunch of stamps for the holiday season.

I'm not sure how to get them out of my algorithms now. I think you can tell Fbk and IG that you’re not interested in this ad, or report it as offensive. Might help. But there’s also a thing deep in the settings menus that lists all the topics they think you’re interested in and I think you can remove some of them. It’s hilarious to see what they think I’m interested in, and tbh I don’t want them to get more accurate. |
