Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, internal documents show

|November 10, 2025
Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10 per cent of its overall annual revenue - or $16 billion - from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

Much of the fraud came from marketers acting suspiciously enough to be flagged by Meta's internal warning systems.

A cache of previously unreported documents reviewed by Reuters also shows that the social-media giant for at least three years failed to identify and stop an avalanche of ads that exposed Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp's billions of users to fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos, and the sale of banned medical products.
On average, one December 2024 document notes, the company shows its platforms' users an estimated 15 billion "higher risk" scam advertisements those that show clear signs of being fraudulent every day. Meta earns about $7 billion in annualized revenue from this category of scam ads each year, another late 2024 document states.
