🥷 Meta Removes 11M Scam Accounts

Meta says it removed 10.9M scam accounts on Facebook and Instagram and took down 159M scam ads last year.

The company is also launching new anti-scam tools across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, powered by AI that analyzes text, images and context to detect fraud.

The systems mainly target:

➡️ impersonation of celebrities, brands and public figures
➡️ links to fake websites designed to mimic real ones

New alerts will also warn users about suspicious activity like friend requests from newly created accounts, profiles from other countries, or unusual device logins on WhatsApp.

Scams remain one of the biggest problems across Meta’s platforms.
