"facebook things this site might be unsafe" .........
Overnight yesterday campaigns that were doing well started to get zero clicks to the offers. I figured my account got banned but when I went to it I saw business as usual and I was getting FB clicks and Being Charged for Clicks. I checked my lander to make sure it was working an it was. They I went onto the actual post on FB to see if there were a ton of negative comments impacting my lander but there were not. THEN I clicked on the url via facebook and received the message "facebook things this site might be unsafe. If you are not familiar with it, please provide feedback by marking it as spam (you will be brought back to facebook) I included a screen shot.
Clearly nobody is clicking to go though to my lander after getting this message yet facebook is still charging me for the clicks. I got no email telling me that my URL's might be spam I had to figure it out on my own. I wasted about 1k in spend on clicks facebook charged me for but never even went to my lander.
I decided to delete all the camps and create new ones with a new URL and New Host. It worked all day until I woke up again today with the same message. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!
whats the wot score on your lander?
Honestly zero clue what that even means or how to figure that out

If it's on the Red, then that's the problem
It is in the green..... As well as the Lander that set the same flag yesterday.
Both are Green

Honestly this is an outright scam by FB. Maybe there are some trigger words in the ad text?
Yes, this is very strange behavior. Must be some kind of bug or facebook deliberately doing this.

I've seen that "unsafe" thing before and it was on brand new pages that gets too many likes or shares in a short amount of time (FB algo will mark it like spam)
What kind of ads are you using? Page Link Posts? Are they going to a lander with no possible redirection elsewhere to non-compliant pages that might trigger a flag?
Honestly in this situation I would contact Facebook directly and demand a refund. They simply should not intercept outgoing clicks from advertisements that they themselves have vetted and approved.
I get these messages when I give links to my friends via private messages - to download GoT episodes haha. You click the URL and it gives this exact message but they are direct links to mkv files. I don't think bit.ly links do it.
any update on how to bypass this?
You could always add a hop in the middle from a different domain, e.g. send users to mytrustworthydomain.com/redir.php?stuff > tracking URL. Not ideal but an interim measure if you are out of ideas.
