Scams involving Meta / Facebook - common questions
Can I get my money back from a Meta / Facebook scam?
In many cases, yes - and the sooner you act, the more options remain. We trace where funds moved through Meta / Facebook, request freezes and chargebacks with the banks and platforms involved, and pursue civil recovery where viable. Every Meta / Facebook case is different, so we give you a free assessment and agree any fees in writing before we begin.
Is Meta / Facebook a scam?
Meta / Facebook is a legitimate social media, but fraudsters impersonate and abuse it - most often through fake investment ads using celebrity endorsements. These scams happen on or around Meta / Facebook rather than by Meta / Facebook itself, which is why reporting and recovery focus on the parties who misused it.
How do I report Meta / Facebook fraud?
Stop all transfers on your Meta / Facebook account, change your password, and export every transaction, chat and email as evidence. Then report it: we help you raise the complaint with Meta / Facebook and its regulator, file with the fraud authorities in your country, and open a recovery case with us.
How long does Meta / Facebook fund recovery take?
It depends on how the money was moved and how quickly it can be traced and frozen. Blockchain tracing can surface leads within days, while bank chargebacks and civil recovery take longer. We set out a realistic timeline for your specific Meta / Facebook case during the free assessment.
