I used to mod a Facebook group about music and every day several fake accounts impersonating famous musicians would request to join and there was no way to report them for impersonation lol

    I used to report for fraud, but even clearly scam account posting stuff like "Hey, this is Snoppe Dogey and I'm going to give 10 grand to the first three people that message me" would get ignored, I only saw bots posting phishing links with porn images getting banned
