"replica" Facebook groups

Not sure where else to post this one but is there no way to get these groups removed from Facebook? These are groups dealing with illegal/counterfeit goods. Isn't there a way to get these removed? Worth a shot to ask here.

You can report them directly on Facebook, but for each one you report, two new ones appear. It's an uphill battle.

How can I report them? I tried to report the group for copyright but I don't own the copyright for any of these companies. If I knew how I'd report each group every time I saw one pop up. Facebook is constantly showing me different replica groups in "suggested groups" since they know I'm a watch aficionado.

Probably best to ignore them. I've never seen such advertisements on my FB feed, perhaps because I have never clicked on a replica group? But I'm a member of several watch groups on FB.

If the owner's of the copyrights don't seem to get excited over it, I would move on. For every scam put down, two more pop up.
