Yes to all of that .. I'm just hoping that an avalanche of reports of one page might just trigger a reaction beyond some algorithm.
This latest scam page has been set up by the same people who set one up last year, messaging fans as Meat Loaf and asking for money. I strung them along for a week last year to try and get bank details the real Meat could pass to the police. I made contact with this latest page via message, and he remembered my name and the precise amount I'd promised last year!
