We’ve noticed an increase in fake websites and Facebook ads impersonating Bambu Lab. These scams trick users into paying for products they won’t receive, often through look-alike domains or fake discounts.
Watch out for unfamiliar domains or unusual spellings (e.g. bamboolab.com, blmake.pro)
Be wary of extreme discounts or “clearance” deals you didn’t see on our official pages
While it’s impossible to fully eliminate these scams, we’ve been taking action over the past few months through legal measures and collaboration with platforms like Meta.
A big thank you to Maker’s Muse for highlighting this matter and offering actionable suggestions in his video.
I know it is an obvious question but…
Is Bambu actively going after these fake sites and their creators?
Am asking as quite a few companies seem to think it is enough to report the offending sites to DNS providers and the law.
While the offending website might eventually disappear, those behind it usually get away unharmed and with the stolen money.
Bambulub is clearly a fake website trying to steal money for everyone but I doubt it will be the last one.
There is just too many of these scams to see an end any time soon.
I’ve seen a ton of fake Bambu ads on Facebook and Instagram driving to fake Bambu sites. Ramped up hard about a week before the anniversary sale. I report them when I see them. Which is every time I go to either of those sites/apps.
Facebook has more incentive to accept ads blindly than it has to screen them. One of those activities makes it money and the other costs it money.
You say you have been collaborating with META . Meta is Facebook and nearly every advertisment on Facebook is a scam. Meta doesnt care about us. They only care about money. If you are working with other platforms , Who are they? Meta are one of the worst offenders and you can complane as much as you want but it never changes.
Yes i totaly agree. Facebook dont check if an add is real or fake, All they care about is making money. Its sad that a company like FB wont even verifi an advertisment before they allow it on there platform.
They’re doing exactly what the law allows, and will not change until consquences get applied. Be sad, but be sad at your broken and ineffective government.
Read into section 230 liability if you are intrigued. They MUST remain provably ignorant
It really sucks for small businesses and companies if it happens to them, especially if somebody is impersonating their business and the scammers are getting the profit.
It really is that all these big companies just care about money than their own consumers, which is sad to see.
