Lebanese ripoff

A few weeks ago I got this advertisement in my junk folder.

advertise-on-facebook

3anjad BRAVO! I believe it took them a lot of brainstorming to come up with the idea they’re promoting. “Advertising on your behalf on Facebook”, WOW.

These guys claim they can do what ANYONE else can do, that is using a credit card to post an ad for you on Facebook. As if we suffer of some disability that prevents us from posting an ad on Facebook on our own, and our brain cannot interpret the fields labeled “age”,Β  “gender” and “internet” that help us target a certain segment of users of Facebook, w AKID the buttons intended to generate reports showing the perfomance of our ads go way behind our understanding. Ya3neh alf l7amdilla allah ba3at hal 3alam ynawwrouna.

If you have a product to promote, just don’t use these guys, chances are they’re gonna rip you off, use your credit card instead and benefit from the experience of the people on the internet that have usef Facebook ads before (use google to find them), I did it and it worked for me.

… That’s unless you are running for the Lebanese elections, then do make use of their service because they’re ready to make special promotions for you as you can see below (snapshot from Al-Waseet newspaper), not to mention that you definitely deserve a ripoff at least once in your life.

    They probably get business from the unintelligent drone class of Lebanese (and we have a lot for them). If they do, then the fools deserve it.

    I bet there are thousands, if not more, out there who are not the tech-savvy type of people, and will definitely fall for that.

    well you never know.. simple crookery might just work
    do we have only to suffer from high level crooks ?
    well they put their phone number … maybe someone would rip them off back πŸ˜›

    I wish you could discuss/share your opinion on advertising on facebook on general

    I tried advertising with these guys and to my surprise they were really good.

    They created my ad + facebook fanpage, maintained it and sent me reports about my ad’s performance.

    I know I could have done all this myself but I am a busy man and outsourcing my online advertising was a positive thing I did.

    You guys might want to try these guys out before judging them πŸ™‚

    Yalla Bravoooo… Jump to your conclusions, judgments and accusations based on an email, an ad in the paper and your “oh so” objective thinking…

    @MindBlaster
    Mabrouk they ripped you off then πŸ˜›
    Seriously now, how much time will it take to create a fanpage and an ad! 5 minutes?
    Reporting is about a single click!
    These ad services such as Google Ads and Facebook are meant for the individuals/companies to directly post their ads, and not pass through “proxies”.

    @Walla??
    It was not a judgment, it’s a fact!
