IP Moat helps businesses protect their intellectual property across Meta Ads platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, by identifying and reporting advertisements that infringe on trademarks, copyrights, and other protected rights.

Using advanced monitoring technology, we proactively detect counterfeit product promotions, unauthorised use of your brand assets, copied content, and misleading advertisements that could harm your reputation or confuse consumers. Our team is experienced in navigating Meta’s intellectual property enforcement procedures and prepares detailed, evidence-based infringement reports to support swift and effective removal action.

By managing the takedown process on your behalf, IP Moat helps safeguard your brand reputation, reduce revenue loss from counterfeit advertising, and maintain customer trust across Meta’s global advertising network.

Meta DMCA reporting

Filing Meta Ads DMCA requests

Like all major online platforms Meta accepts Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) submissions.

It is worth noting that infringements found on Meta will also be promoting the product on a website or marketplace. By removing the ad from Meta you reduce the products exposure but product listing will still exist. You can contact the website or marketplace selling the items to have the listing completely removed.

IP Moat makes filing DMCA requests, patent and trademark infringement easy.

Meta Infringements

What to do if you find fake Meta ads?

If you find counterfeits or infringing products being promoted by Meta or Meta scam listings, you can report them directly to the Meta platform. You will also likely need to remove the actual product listing by contacting the website or marketplace where the item is being sold.

While this is an option, the process can be time-consuming, and the responses you receive may vary. For a more efficient solution, consider using a brand protection platform such as IP Moat. We specialise in identifying and removing counterfeit listings and ads, with plans starting from just $105 for 40 removals.

Meta scams

Are Meta ads a scam?

No, Meta advertisements are not inherently scams, but it’s important to be cautious the advertisements can be used to promote third-party products, leading to varying quality and authenticity. Some sellers may engage in tactics such as selling counterfeit or fake goods or providing misleading descriptions.

Meta makes it easy for new websites to quickly gain exposure. This can be a great tool for new businesses but this can also allow illegitimate sites to promote fake goods.
