Basically had a fb account with email as [email protected].

Lost the domain.

2 days ago someone purchases it and makes my email again, he changes my fb password and recovery email, and adds 2fa.

Starts spamming ads using my PayPal account linked to fb. I receive the first charge of 225€. I block all my cards and delist Facebook from PayPal authorized payments.

Stupid mistake, I know. The money is retained (not yet charged) but the bank says it's not possible to recover my money as it's not considered theft, but fraud. Also, PayPal canceled the complaint I opened.

Have I got any hope? Yesterday I sent my ID to fb to recover my account, but cant find any way to contact them on the matter of the money.

My bank account is now at -223€. Also country is Spain.
 
Just block your card, and make change your paypal credential while you have the time. And please move on... There's literally nothing you can do for now.
 
Very little you can do Facebook support is probably the world worst overall for a online business.

Notify your bank or banks attached to Facebook and say you want all future Facebook charged banned or blocked under Fraud and change Paypal approved payment to not Facebook that should sort it for you .
 
I have already done all that, was hoping to recover the money some way.

We all understand that this happens with Facebook. And of course, data locking is the very first thing you should do.
 
Well, the Vijusams have already given basic advice. You just need to be more careful now
