Today I got a message on my 110 K likes Facebook page of someone interested in buying my page... The offer was quite unusual and completely way off, $8500 (No way a Facebook page that big is worth that). I kinda already knew it was a scam but wanted to see what was the catch.

Check the logs :

So as you guys can see, the scammer can probably take over the account with the analyst/advertiser role. So watch out! I have also found a thread here of someone stating that they lost their account doing that. So watch out guys! Cheers!

They can take over the account with just the "analyst/advertiser role"? how is that possible

I wonder the same. Maybe someone here can explain to us how is that possible?

How the hell is this even possible? What if a team of marketing contacts me they want to be hired and asks me for an ad account?

I get this type of messages all the time. So frustrating.
