Yesterday i ran a fb campaign and after more than 1 hour no imp and no clicks and i was targeting 84k people so i was just about to write fb and then i see i had 2 clicks over 1$ per click omg they could have updated it earlier like after first click. Now im very afraid because i made a new campaign in new niche and i target over 4 mil, but after 1 hour no imp no clicks or anything. I think when i see update all my money is gone?
Is facebook cheating people out of their money?

Get someone to do it for you, it's not at easy at it sounds to manage campaigns.
I have to agree. You should look into it more and make sure you are properly targeting your audience or your money will be wasted (but that's not FBs fault). It's also normal for clicks to not roll in right away. I've only ran pretty small budget campaigns on facebook, but results were satisfying. Particularly liked a post about how to build a hyper targeted fb audience list on godofseo's blog, but I can't post links yet cuz I'm a newbie here 
If some of the more senior members know what I'm talking about, maybe they can help out with that

I remember a thread of a new guy here who apparently knew heads and tails of fb campaigning. Can't really find it. Search for it. According to him, your click-through rate also has something to do with the cpc. Not really sure, but I think you will be in a better position if you follow that thread.

You need to split test your campaign with many type of ads bro.
And choose one that have good (high) CTR.
Not to mention, just dont random target 4M. You need to be specific. Only target to super-duper matching audience with your product/service only.
Playing with age, location, interest and soon on.
Some good thread you should read http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/making-money/601972-my-50k-month-facebook-ads-only.html

It just simple logic you know, when we play adsense, we need low CTR, so we can get high price click, so we send bunch of traffic to our website that have adsense.
If we play G.Adwords or FB Ads, as advertiser not publisher, we need high CTR so the click price will be cheap.
That's mean we need good ads, image, headline, description, timing and specific targeted audience.

you must've accidentally set that amount as your max daily budget. The idea is that you set your daily budget as well as everything else regarding your campaign, then u can just let it run on its own for a bit. Facebook knows to stop when you've reached your daily budget and they notify you once the campaign is over. If it's just the daily budget that is spent, that doesn't mean the campaign is over - only that it won't run for the rest of the day. Takes some practice and learning, but facebook ads can be effective once you get the hang of it
edit: there are plenty of tutorials and stuff you can find online. The key thing, as others have mentioned above, is to make sure you are properly targeting your audience; only send those ads to people who are likely going to be interested in them - this will give you better CTR and lower PPC costs
