9. I think I know the cure.

Facebook is passing on a lot of fraudulent ads, and I was very active with Paypal and other sources outside of Facebook to bring attention to the fact that Facebook continued to allow them to pass through, even after I alerted them every time.

Of course, I block everything objectionable.

I am probably flagged as someone that will seek remedies outside of Facebook, and I am almost never bothered with nonsense spam.
