A couple of moths ago, you may have heard of a Facebook ads scam. I was actually traveling when this was going on, but happened to be working on onboarding a new client who’d sent me an email about the recent Facebook charge frauds and wanting to know how best to guard against them. They hadn’t been hit, but then I realized, while I was traveling, I kept seeing my little American Express alerts for charges, since I have my business card linked to my apple pay, I see every transaction that hits pop up on my phone. They were little transactions to Facebook, for under $20 but they were happening every few hours.

Then it hit me: My Facebook billing threshold is $500, so why are all these tiny charges hitting—AND, I didn’t think we were running any ads.

I was so grateful that my client had asked the question, and I was suddenly aware of what was going on. So in today’s blog, I’m going to share with you what I did, and what you can do, too.

Awareness...
