Description

FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WAS HACKED, I REPORTED 45 DAYS AGO TO FACEBOOK, EVEN SENT THEM A COPY OF MY DRIVERS LICENSE, BY THE TIME I REPORTED THE ACCOUNT THE PERSON CHANGED THE 2 WAY AUTHENTICATION. EVEN THOUGH MY PHONE NUMBER IS THERE, I NEVER RECEIVED THE TEXT MESSAGE WITH THE CODE THEY SUPPOSEDLY SENT. I REPORTED IT VIA EMAIL AND NOTHING. IN THE MEAN TIME TWO OF MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SCAMMED OUT OF MONEY. tHE PERSON WAS SELLING TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS SHE PAID 1,200, AND THE HACKER HAD THEM ZELLE THE FUNDS. THE 2ND PERSON LOST 1K WITH A SCAM THAT THE PERSON PRETENDING TO BE ME WAS SELLING A CAR. I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHINGIT FIRST STARTED WITH MY INSTAGRAM BEING HACKED AND GOT IT RECOVERED BUT FACEBOOK IS BEEING ELUSIVE. I HAVE PHOTO AND MEMORIES THERE THAT I DONT HAVE SAVED AND THE PERSON BLOCKED ME WHEN I CREATED A PROFILE TO KEEP TABS ON WHAT IS BEING POSTED IN MY ACCOUNT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYWAY YOU CAN HELP, BECAUSE GOING THROUGH THE FACEBOOK ROUTE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING. I HATE TO THINK MORE PEOPLE WITH GET SCAMMED OUT OF THIER HARD EARNED MONEY BY SOMEONE PRETENDING TO BE ME.
