    jaysus ... website only in existence since Jan 2010 .... and only registered until 2011.... registered in Russia.

    me thinks someone will make a lot of money and there's gonna be loads of "bargain hunters" out of pocket.

    OP... have you reported the advert to Facebook ? (Dont ask me how - I dont know but I assume you can report stuff to them)

    If someone is willing to pay, Facebook is willing to host it.

    They're probably served out by some other third part anyway. And advertising agencies, whether online or not, have never been shy of whoring themselves out for a quick buck.
    Should there be some oversight on behalf of places like Facebook ? Probably. Will there ever be ? Probably not so long as the entire web relies on the shaky foundations of online advertising as being its main revenue stream.

    Damn, they only accept Western Union & Bank Transfer, now I can't complete my order for my brand new Canon 17-40 f4 L for only €339 including delivery - what a shame :rolleyes:

    Facebook do proactively police their ads - to make sure they are within their advertising specs. It is however impossible for any company - Facebook, Google etc to substantiate the claims of advertisers. How is someone in FB supposed to know how much a particular item is worth? Open advertising platforms rely on good will of those who advertise and consumer shrewdness.

    If you click the 'x' on the ad unit, it will delete off your profile and ask you to say why you are not liking the ad. 'Misleading' is an option or you can select 'Other' and fill out additional comments.

    My rule is - if it sounds too good to be true, then it is :D
