    Facebook sadly does have a problem with copycat groups popping up that usually copy the original group to a great extent, and also spam invite everyone from said original group - then spam the copycat with the exact same posts as the original but usually fill it with referral link crap or straight up scam sites.

    And of course Facebook does nothing because who cares about fraud and IP theft and whatnot as long as it brings some income to the big blue fuckers?

      Actually that doesn’t surprise me at all. Does putting the word “official” in the name help somehow?

        Usually very little because copycat groups will just copy that part too… But hey, it’s Facebook we’re talking about, so…
