I've seen dozens of AI generated scam ads for quilts, leather goods, backpacks, etcetera.
All are of the form "After 40 years my poor business is closing" plus a link to a generic online shop selling drop shipped goods from China at a 300% markup.
I report them all. They never get removed.
There are even Facebook groups for people who fell victim to the scams - Google 'Vantique' to find out more about the quilt scam.
The apathy by Facebook really puts me off using their platform, it feels like the dirty underbelly of the internet is taking over.
