Last year I ordered five blouses online. Only two out of five were exactly what I ordered. I still see adds for the same style clothes, mostly on Facebook. Yesterday I decided to count the number of similar ads I got on Facebook. In 90 minutes, checking Facebook occasionally, I got 27 ads with names like Hanadir, Yerkas, Cloquec, Wealthy Lovers and Ambymega-official. They aren't all the same styles but the model seems to be the same slim woman with long blond hair.
I also noticed a going-out-of-business ad for a company selling metal wind spinners for the garden. I went to the website but decided not to buy something unseen. Shortly after that I got similar ads for Ken's Shops, Nuni, Hot Sale, Nice Shop and Dziriya. I deleted each one and called them Repetitive or Irrelevant.
I wrote this last Saturday, the day after I'd been at my volunteer job. I looked at Facebook from there. I haven't seen anything similar on my home computer since then. Would those ads have had something to do with accessing Facebook from something other than my regular home computer? Thanks.
The metal wind spinners are definitely some sort of scam.
I blocked them, but they come back under many different vendor names, with the same "We're shutting down" sales pitch.
So, I started marking them as Spam, and after 3 or 4, I haven't seen one for a few days.
The clothes may well be, also.
LOL
With my morning coffee, I "Hide" all ads on FB, as "Irrelevant," and "Hide all from XYZ."
FB is pretty bizarre in trying to get ads that might be relevant to me. Lots of hard liquor currently.
Just install a good adblocker.
I never see ads. Anywhere.
