FB swamping me with Muslim clothing ads

My Facebook feed is full of women's Muslim clothing adverts - robes, veils, headscarves etc. This is completely irrelevant to me - I don't need it or want it, I'm not Muslim, and I have never looked at any of this clothing or websites. I keep blocking them but still they appear from a different source.

It's beginning to feel a bit creepy.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Don’t react to the adds. By blocking them they know you’re still looking. It’s the same as unwanted calls, just let them ring out.

I get things about willy enhancers and herbal medicines that make an erection last longer and I'm a laydee.

Think yourself lucky.

I'm now getting Halal vitamin supplements.

Thanks for the advice. I will stop blocking them and just ignore.

(Sorry about the willy enhancers Indigo8 smile )
