The minimum investment is only $350, but we are proud that the average Australian earns

Hi, Dick Smith here.
00:18
What you've just seen is a scam.
00:20
I've never ever said those words.
00:23
It's all part of a scam, fraud ads that are on Facebook and Instagram to take your money.
00:28
Many Australians have lost millions of dollars.
00:30
Now, there's something we can do about that, and this is what we do.
00:34
Simply never ever buy anything from any advertiser on Facebook or Instagram.
00:40
You will lose your money if you do.
00:42
I understand up to 50% of the ads are scams.
00:45
Facebook and Instagram, owned by Mark Zuckerberg, do nothing about it.
00:49
The greed is so great, they run ads from criminal organizations.
00:54
So remember, never ever buy anything from an ad on Facebook or Instagram.
00:59
If you're an advertiser, never ever advertise on Instagram or Facebook because you'll be
01:03
linked to the dishonesty of the whole thing.
01:06
And by the way, send this video to everyone because the more support we get for this,
01:11
suddenly we'll find that Facebook and Instagram will do something about checking their ads
01:15
before they run scam ones that lose enormous amounts of money for our fellow Australians.
01:21
Thanks for watching.
