Facebook ads claiming to offer users a portion of oil and natural gas sales in Canada have been viewed tens of thousands of times. Imperial Oil said it did not create the posts, and the company warns on its website against scams impersonating its brand
"It has come to our attention that unauthorized individuals have attempted to use the Imperial name and logo, as well as the names of Imperial directors, executives and employees, in emails and on websites to solicit up-front fees from interested individuals and businesses," the website says.
The company adds:"Imperial does not use social media and unsolicited email or written correspondence to request that individuals or businesses pay an advance fee of any kind in order to conduct business with Imperial."The pages running the ads use the names Imperial G&O and Canadian G&O. Both were created recently, and the page transparency details for the latter show it is managed from Ukraine.
