Hi everyone,
Just wanted to do an update as I posted desperately asking for help when it happened! Someone in Vietnam managed to hack my account and quickly deleted my email, phone number and associated devices, so obviously I was screwed and was trapped in the stupid cycle of requesting new password, but obviously didn’t have access to that hacker’s email. I tried several email addresses associated with Facebook help and never got a single response.
Anyway here’s how I got back in: I just kept trying! And one day after about 3 weeks the cycle of death changed and they asked me to upload ID as proof, and bam I was in. No idea what changed. The weirdest part is it doesn’t look like the hacker did ANYTHING in 3 the weeks they had my account. Nothing sent to my contacts, nothing duplicated, no scams on Facebook marketplace, I’m pretty sure they never even logged in again cos I had my partner checking constantly. What the hell was the point?!? I’m so done with Facebook and their useless unhelpful bullshit that I deleted my account as soon as I was back in, it was just too traumatic knowing some scammer could see every private message I’d ever sent, facebook can literally go to hell.
