Selling some stuff on Facebook Marketplace, and got contacted by a scammer. Played dumb for a bit until he sent me a gift card payment link where I should pay for the transport up front which I would then get refunded in cash (yeah sure buddy).

Reported the guy for fraud, and Facebook closed the case again within 30s because he "doesn't violate our marketplace guidelines". I don't assume any human ever saw that complaint. 😑 Anyone knows if there's a way to make these reports stick?

@floe Last year some numbers were reported. Looked it up: "The rate of moderation automation is very high at Meta: At Facebook and Instagram, respectively, 94% and 98% of decisions are made by machines". Will differ a bit by language for sure, but yeah, probably no scamming report will be seen by humans unless escalated multiple times...
