Frequent Messages Linking To 'Adult' Content On Facebook

Recommended Posts

Above.

 

For some reason, I get a constant stream of messages on Facebook alluding to rather pornographic content.

 

I know the ads on there are geared to stuff I search for, but at the moment my main Googling is gaming related and job searching, I don't go on Porn sites.

 

Short of closing my account (again) is there anything I can do to stop this? Obviously I can't post examples, you know why.

Clear your browser cache and cookies...
and make sure that next time, whoever does a search for that uses incognito mode ;)

That and you can report the ads on FB each time, they shouldn't be on there..

Thanks for that, it's not ads though, it's actual messages.

I follow a photographer on FB and they had their name Hi jacked by someone in the States who was apparently posting pornographic pics, fortunately I only got one notification. The photographer contacted FB to try and get the name back but had no joy from them and ended up starting again with a new name. If it is similar and someone you follow who has been hacked stop following them, if not can you  block the person who is sending them?

I always do but still get them coming back :(

 

I know it's probably Russian spam bots though, like I said I don't "do" Porn sites to get the targeted ads.

If it's actual messages, report the page/profile who is sending the messages, and block/ignore them after....
