I recently received an email from Facebook on 11/28/18 stating that my password was changed from a computer in Dallas, which raised some concerns. The email included a phone number, [redacted], supposedly from a user named facebookhugh4. Interestingly, I could still access my Facebook account with my old password. The email was sent to my Yahoo account, although my Facebook email is [redacted] After replying to the email (which I now regret), my computer initiated an unexpected automatic update, a departure from its usual behavior of updating when I shut it down. I'm unsure if the email was genuinely from Facebook. As a precaution, I've begun the process of deleting my account within the 30-day period.

Hello, I recently logged out of Facebook and unfortunately cannot remember my password. The email address associated with my account is outdated, and although my phone number is correct, I am unable to receive the verification code through it. I have also faced issues with the email provider not updating my phone number correctly. I've been a Facebook user for 10 years and really need access to my account. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Melissa.

My son was wrongly accused of rape by a girl he knew. The sheriff's department initially did not arrest him since the girl and her friends' stories did not align, even after multiple attempts to coordinate them. The girl's family, including her Chief of Security grandfather, exerted pressure leading to my son's arrest. He was removed from college due to the violent crime charge, which was later dropped unanimously by a Grand Jury. Despite the charges being dismissed, the impact on my son's reputation and business has been devastating. He purchased a company from a cousin and has been working tirelessly to grow it. His absence from our family business due to the false accusations has been challenging. We have faced public scrutiny and legal proceedings, trying to prove his innocence. It has been a distressing ordeal for our family, and we kindly request the removal of defamatory statements about him on social media. Thank you.

I recently created a new Facebook account due to harassment on my old account. I wanted to change the main name on my new profile but after providing a recent picture for verification, Facebook is assessing it, and now I can't access my new account. I deactivated my old account as I learned I should only have one account per person per email. The new account is under the name 'Kayla A Hiron,' and I need it to be working by tomorrow. Thank you for your help. - Kayla

My Facebook account was disabled for being ineligible. My girlfriend sent me 4 pictures via Messenger, and approximately an hour later, I was logged out and found my account disabled. Interestingly, my girlfriend was also logged out, but her account remained active. This is perplexing as I have never faced this issue in the 10 years I have been using Facebook. We have been exchanging pictures for the entire duration of our year-long relationship. Furthermore, my Instagram account is also inaccessible with a "user not found" error message upon login attempts. The loss of pictures and memories stored on both platforms is distressing. I seek clarification as to why only my account was disabled despite being the recipient, not the sender of the pictures.

I am experiencing an ongoing issue where an individual named Fiona Lewis, also known as Fi Boxy, is using my longstanding hotmail email account to log into her Facebook account. Despite my attempts to address this with her and her sister through messenger, there has been no response or resolution after many years of this occurring. I continue to receive all of her messages and notifications, including password changes, in my email inbox. I am hesitant to unsubscribe from these notifications until she ceases using my hotmail account for her activities. I have not received assistance from Hotmail in resolving this matter, and I am frustrated with the situation. The email account being used is [redacted] Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Fiona M. Lewis

My emails are [redacted] and [redacted] I am having trouble recovering my page due to verification codes not working on my phones. The main phone number listed is [redacted], while the second one is [redacted]. Please use my email as the primary contact number instead. My broken phone has been replaced with an unlisted hard-line at [redacted]. I tried to create a new Facebook account for family under the name Vickie L. Lloyd with the email [redacted], but it got linked to my other accounts. Contacting my family has been difficult since I only use Messenger. Any assistance would be appreciated as I struggle with the verification process. Thank you, Vickie Conger Lloyd.

I am attempting to change the name of my Facebook Page. Every time I try, I receive a denial message stating, "We’re unable to update your Page’s name because your request doesn’t follow our Page guidelines. The name you requested suggests that the subject of your Page has changed or may be misleading. This can be confusing for people who like your Page." I find this perplexing as I have recently updated my website, and having different names for my website and Facebook Page only adds to the confusion. Despite explaining my rationale, I continue to receive the same generic response. The Page is intended for my rugby website and is currently named "NYC Database." The NYC competition it was named after has ceased, and I want to change it to the new site name, "The 18th Man," which is a rugby-related term. However, my requests for a name change are consistently rejected.

Hello, I am Sanaullah from Chosun University in South Korea. I have a question regarding Facebook's password policy. Why does Facebook allow users to enter passwords of any length? Additionally, I have noticed that despite having a long password, Facebook accepts it when I enter only a few characters, even if they are incorrect. Is this a bug or intentional? I am studying Software Engineering and am curious to understand the reasoning behind Facebook's approach. I appreciate your prompt response as it will not only aid in my education but also benefit other students in my circle. Thank you. Regards, Sanaullah (Software Engineering Student, Chosun University)

I am reaching out regarding my late mother's unsecured account. It appears that her account is still accessible, and I suspect it has been compromised. I am looking to either reset the password or permanently close the account. Her email associated with the account is [redacted], which is also linked to my Facebook profile. This unwanted activity is distressing, especially seeing unauthorized posts on her profile. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please advise if you require additional information. Sincerely, Alex

I am unable to access my old Facebook account and it is crucial for me to either recover it or have it deleted. The hotmail email linked to the account was hacked, making it impossible for me to recover the password. Despite multiple attempts to follow the account recovery process, I have not been successful. I am unsure if the account was hacked or if I simply forgot the password. Attached is a screenshot of the account in question. I have been trying to resolve this for nearly 2 years without any support from Facebook. I urgently need assistance with this matter. Thank you.

Hello! I have noticed a surge in Facebook notifications recently. Rather than the usual 1-2 notifications related directly to me (like friend requests or photo tags), I am now bombarded with numerous notifications unrelated to me (such as friends adding to their stories or liking posts). Despite updating my settings a month ago to receive only essential notifications about myself, the issue persists. Currently, I see 34 notifications on my Facebook app, most of which are irrelevant to me. How can I address this problem? If possible, could you adjust my notification settings accordingly to only show relevant updates? Thank you!

I am seeking assistance with securing my personal and business Facebook accounts as they have been compromised by an ex-acquaintance. Password changes are not possible as the email used for the accounts no longer exists. My personal account under the name "Mike Lisowski" features a 1970s group picture of teen boys in front of a storefront. The business account is for NEPA Party Bike. There is another account under my name, created by my son who attended Pitt. The ex-acquaintance has taken over my messenger and is falsely contacting people. They are also spreading damaging information affecting jobs and relationships through slander. The email associated with the accounts is [redacted], and a previous password used was carmoon69. I request assistance in deleting both accounts to resolve this issue. Thank you.

Hello, I am seeking assistance as I am uncertain about how to resolve an issue. Some time ago, I mistakenly created a personal performer account on Facebook named Enchantress Divine, without intending to do so. Being new to Facebook back then, I was unaware of the correct procedure for creating a performer account and inadvertently ended up with this dormant account. I cannot access it to delete it as I have forgotten the login details and now it exists as a separate entity under an improper name. Having created my Public Figure account since, this dormant account is causing issues as it appears as a separate individual, complicating matters. I attempted to address this problem a few years back but was unsuccessful, leading me to abandon the attempt. I would like to retain my personal account and public figure profile while eliminating the Enchantress Divine page, which I inadvertently created to prevent any future complications. I have been at a loss on how to approach this matter, as I never utilized or intended to create that account. Your guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated as I am unsure of the necessary steps to rectify this situation.

My 11-year-old son accidentally used my email to create a Facebook profile for himself. I am attempting to either delete or rename the account. He set it up with the email "[redacted]" In my efforts to rename it to "Anne Bain," my maiden name, I was prompted to verify my identity. I uploaded a photo of my driver's license, which may not work as it displays my married name. I have a separate Facebook account under my phone number ([redacted]) with my businesses managed through it. I wish to keep this account, which is in my current married name. My main goal is to remove the other account created by Henry Speno or change its name if possible.

My account was temporarily locked. I want to open it on the Facebook app. When I entered my Gmail and password, an issue occurred. It asked to confirm my identity by sending a security code to my number or identifying photos of friends. I chose the second option but couldn't remember some friends, then it said I couldn't log in. I tried to select the second option again, but my number was missing. I have added two more numbers, but only one was shown as an option. Please help me recover my account. If you believe me, please email me on my Gmail account. Thank you for your assistance.

I responded to an ad on Marketplace by Brady Grimes in Reklaw, Texas, for TWO RHINO [redacted] listed at $[redacted] for the pair. We drove down and gave a $[redacted] deposit to hold them. When we returned the next night to pick them up, my partner paid $[redacted] and accidentally left the $[redacted] deposit. After noticing the error while balancing our books, I contacted Brady. He changed the post to $[redacted] before replying, indicating he had dishonestly kept my $[redacted]. I'm looking to obtain a copy of the original ad to pursue legal action if necessary. I run the page and group ATV UTV Buy Sale and SXS Outlaws on Facebook. Your assistance in retrieving the original post would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jerrell Jordan.

My Apple ID was compromised, and I had to create a new one, reinstall all my apps, and set new login information. However, when I try to log into Facebook, I can't remember my password, and the system doesn't recognize my account when I try to reset it using my name, phone number, or email. This is causing me trouble as I have three businesses linked to this account - McKay’s Cycle Repair, McKay’s Mobile RV Repair, and McKay’s RV Transporting and Rescue. I, Curtis McKay, live at [redacted] W. Mud Valley Rd. with a business address of [redacted] W. Mud Valley Rd., Tahlequah, Oklahoma [redacted]. The account used [redacted] as the email and [redacted] as the phone number. I also can't access Messenger. Facebook is vital for my business communication, and not being able to log in is affecting my ability to provide for my children. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you, Curtis McKay.

Good Afternoon, I am contacting you regarding our company's Facebook page, which was recently disabled for "violating policy." We are hopeful that this was due to an algorithm issue and that upon further examination, our page will be reinstated. Our business, www.netacare.org, is a fully legal, registered medical marijuana company in Massachusetts. We have recently been granted approval by the Cannabis Control Commission in Massachusetts for legal, taxed, age 21+ adult use sales. We have garnered significant media coverage recently, including being featured on the front page of the Boston Globe. Please find some press links below: - Boston Globe 1 - Boston Globe 2 - Boston Business Journal - Boston.com Additionally, we have been highlighted on national news programs such as NBC and CBS. Maintaining our Facebook page has been crucial for communicating with our medical patients, updating customers on cannabis news, and sharing NETA updates for years. Given the importance of our messages amidst the adult-use cannabis sales in MA, we kindly request and hope that you can promptly and discreetly review our company to restore our Facebook page. This will enable us to continue offering the same level of communication and support to our patients, customers, and media outlets as we have done through Facebook over the years. I am available at any time on my cell: [redacted] Thank you, Eddie Benjamin
