At 2 am last night a bot impersonating a family member added every one of their friends on facebook & sent them messages. I reported it as a fake account, a ticket which was instantly closed.

Facebook sent a notification later to them that the account was not impersonating anyone, no action would be taken, and there was no way to appeal.

Interestingly, messenger did splat a bunch of pretty good warnings on top of the DM they sent me: https://i.imgur.com/gigUA7G.png
