BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
I checked “ following” on the Facebook App for BOGLEHEADS, but when I tap menu it never appears for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Bogleheads on Facebook?
Be careful. There are fake Boglehead Facebook pages. The real one has a “category” as “Interest”. A new fake one has “Investing Service”
This is the real one with 16k likes.

When I search for BOGLEHEADS on Facebook I find the App and then tap “following”, but it never appears when I tap the menu bar?

We have an actual Wiki page about it.

I expect that SeeMoe is looking at a new fake Bogleheads page which I have warned them about.

Try tapping Menu -> Groups -> Your Groups
The Boglehead page or any other page can’t control how Facebook presents it to you.

That’s not the official Bogleheads Facebook page. It’s just a scam page.
This is the link to the official Facebook page.

I don't (usually?) participate with Facebook, but I did just take a look for BH, using what is supposedly the "official Facebook page" (per above quoted post).
There is what appears to be a scam:
"Bogleheads

Or is the above link from the quoted post not accurate?

Don't use Facebook. Problem solved!
Re: BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
I am concerned because it is the official page and I want to make sure our members don't get scammed.
Re: BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
This site, bogleheads.org (the forum, wiki, and blog), is independent from Facebook and Reddit. We have no connection other than use of the Bogleheads name.*
The Facebook link is in the wiki's sidebar (desktop view): Bogleheads | Facebook
Can someone with a Facebook account post there (or report the post) regarding the spam?
I don't do Facebook or Reddit. However, I did notify the Bogle Center.

Re: BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
I'm not sure if all these comments were here before, but this is what I'm seeing now.
I've reported all of them. I reported "We are awarding 30 BTC Bonus to the community" three times: as "false information," as "spam," and as "unauthorized sales." I reported all the rest simply as "spam." Unlike the Bogleheads' forum, I don't expect Facebook to do much, but at least I've reported them.

Re: BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
Unfortunately the page isn’t set up with admins/moderators. Any report made simply goes to Facebook itself as you noted. That will likely result in nothing happening.nisiprius wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 7:17 pm I'm not sure if all these comments were here before, but this is what I'm seeing now.

Re: BOGLEHEADS on Facebook?
As I said, I reported all of the spam posts to Facebook. The main one urged people to send bitcoin to a particular wallet and promised that you would immediately get back 3X what you sent. There were eight replies, all similar, from delighted users saying that it had worked for them.
I now have my official reply from Facebook:
Thank you, Jon Luskin or whomever it was who removed these posts anyway.

It's mind-blowing how the ability to filter, approve, etc., comments is disappointingly limited. Not just Facebook, but Twitter. As such, the scammers are out in force.
Be careful out there, folks.
