Scammers claim their wares enable buyers to run Facebook ads — including political ads in countries other than their own — without complying with the company’s verification requirements.

A post in a different group, “Verified bm trusted market,” promised access to an account approved for running ads about “social issues, elections or politics” in Germany last October, one month after the country’s federal election.

One seller offered a Bangladeshi account, which he said was verified to run political ads in Bangladesh, for $100.
