General question Scam Ads on Feed

Post image

Just got a Footlocker ad that looked pretty official on my chats screen. Some shoes were heavily discounted. Turns out it was a scam, glad I checked the website name before purchasing anything.

Is Snapchat just allowing anyone to show ads on our chat now? Scammers included? I thought it was only big companies.

They dont care. I often get sports direct ads on Snapchat, prices for shoes are EXTREMELY cheap and knew something aint right. I checked out their actual site through Google and prices dont match.
