Dear Sir, My name is Nishant Pandey, and my Facebook account ID is nishantrajpanday9 [at] gmail.com. The contact number I have on my Facebook account is [redacted]. I recently noticed that my Facebook account has been disabled due to some mistake on my part, and I am seeking help to recover it.

Despite submitting the form multiple times, I have not received any updates from your team. I kindly request your team to review and reinstate my account, as I have been using it responsibly since [redacted]. I assure you that I will be more careful in the future and avoid such errors. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Hello, Facebook support team. I recently set up 2-step verification for my Facebook account but am encountering issues with logging in. After entering my password, I am prompted to enter the confirmation code sent via text to my phone. However, I have not been receiving any text messages with the code despite requesting it multiple times. The phone number I provided for 2-step verification is correct, so I am unsure why I am not getting the code. I primarily use the Facebook mobile app for access, but I also tried logging in through Chrome with the same issue. I am reaching out for assistance in resolving this matter as I do not wish to create a new account due to being unable to enter the 2-step verification code. Your prompt help in providing guidance on fixing this problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Recently, I encountered an issue with my Facebook account, DNewcomer. When I attempted to log in, I received an error stating that my email address was incorrect, my password had been changed, and my phone number switched to someone else's. Despite creating a new account, it has now been frozen on the grounds of not being authentic. I am frustrated by this situation and seek assistance. I feel compelled to take action and express my concerns about potential security breaches to the proper authorities. I urge Facebook to rectify this error promptly.

I am seeking guidance on how to contact Facebook for assistance regarding my daughter's hacked account. The perpetrator, a known individual, has changed the password, and the account now appears either deactivated or locked. We received three reactivation code emails, but they were invalid due to their age. Subsequently, we haven't received any more emails, and even the trusted contacts method is ineffective. Despite being a trusted contact, I encounter an error message when trying to generate a code for her. The message states, "The link you followed may have expired, or the Page may only be visible to an audience that you aren't in." My daughter's name is Beth Greenaway, and her email is [redacted] Any assistance you can provide would be greatly valued.

My phone has been stolen three times in the last 9 months, leading to unauthorized access to my different accounts. The email addresses affected are: [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] "Beaver" is my real nickname, and "39" reflects my age in [redacted]. Due to these thefts, my passwords have been changed, and I've lost valuable information. I can provide my real phone number: [redacted], and my address is [redacted] Rose Street Southeast, Cedar Rapids, Iowa [redacted], where I have lived since August [redacted]. I am Steven Varner. I am seeking assistance in recovering access to these three email accounts. Thank you.

I attempted to access my Facebook account but was notified three times that there were unauthorized login attempts. I followed the prompts to reset my password each time and reviewed my account history, which showed no unusual activity. The following day, all the apps on my phone deleted my account and reset my password again. Now I am unable to access my account as I no longer have access to the associated email addresses from around 10 years ago. Additionally, I cannot reset my password via the phone number linked to my account as it is no longer active.

Hello, I woke up yesterday to find that my main Facebook account, which I've been using since [redacted], was disabled for the first time ever. Before this happened, I joined a page from America and connected with a few people by sending friend requests and introduction messages. The next morning when I tried to log in, I was asked to upload a photo to confirm my identity. I complied, but my account remains disabled. Today, when I tried to log in, they requested a confirmation code sent to my mobile number, which I provided, but my account is still inactive. I would appreciate it if my account could be restored. Thank you.

I am an attorney based in Atlanta representing a co-owner of an online platform known as Muscle Angels. The site features female bodybuilders showcasing their hard work and dedication in a tasteful manner without nudity or suggestive content. The photos are from legitimate bodybuilding events recognized as a sport by many fans. I am concerned that Facebook has blocked Muscle Angels, impacting my client's business and denying fans access to the sport's developments. As a Facebook user, I have come across femalemuscle.com that displays similar content with no issues. Given that bodybuilding is a respected sport, Muscle Angels deserves the same recognition for promoting a healthy lifestyle and hard work. I urge Facebook to reconsider and allow Muscle Angels back on the platform. Thank you, Ben J. Wachstein

Last night, I set up a Facebook page to join my accepted students college Facebook group. This morning, when I tried to log back in, Facebook prompted me to verify a phone number. Despite entering my number, it keeps saying it's "invalid," which is incorrect. I even attempted to use my sister's number, which I know doesn't have a linked Facebook account, but that was deemed invalid as well. Now I'm stuck and unable to access my account. I don't want my phone number associated with it; I simply wish to join the group and connect with classmates. Your prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have been experiencing issues with accessing my account since around 2[redacted]. Recently, it has come to my attention that someone is using my account to send messages to my contacts. I am unable to retrieve my login details or reset my password as I no longer have access to the Yahoo email address associated with my account. The situation is concerning as my contacts are receiving messages from my account, and I fear it may have been compromised. I would appreciate assistance in regaining control of my account.

Hello, My Facebook account has been disabled due to a prank played by someone I know. While I was intoxicated, the individual posted adult videos on Messenger to a mutual friend without my knowledge. The next day, I discovered what had happened. I am devastated by this because my account holds all my memories, valuable contacts, and is linked to my Instagram. It is a significant loss for me. I understand I lack evidence to support my claim, but I assure you that such an incident will never occur again. I sincerely apologize to Facebook for this situation. As one of the oldest users, I kindly request the opportunity to redeem myself. I am willing to provide any identification proof necessary. I hope for your understanding and assistance. Thank you.

My account was disabled for security reasons, and now all my ads are not running when I need them to. I provided my phone number promptly when requested, and then uploaded a photo as asked, but it has been over 24 hours and my account is still disabled. I urgently require access to my account, especially during this critical marketing period. The email linked to my account is [redacted] Thank you for your assistance, Owen.

My account got hacked because the email linked to it was changed. Even though I search for my account using my email (b***[redacted]), a different email (t****6@o*****.host) shows up. I found a solution where I could submit another email with an attached ID as proof of ownership. After receiving a link to reset my password, when I tried to create a new password, it kept saying I was trying too many times even though I only did it once. The system then asked for a code to be sent to my email, but when I tried to enter the code, the hacked email address appeared with no option to remove it. Now, every time I try to enter the code, it tells me I've tried too many times. Nothing seems to be working, and I am frustrated.

My account was hacked recently, as the email associated with it was changed without my permission. Despite searching for my account using my original email (*****@***.com), a different email (t*********@o*********.host) is now displayed. To resolve the issue, I followed a process of submitting a new email and ID to prove my identity. After receiving a link to reset my password, I encountered an error message claiming I was trying too many times, even though I had only attempted once. Subsequent login attempts led to a request for a verification code, which unfortunately was being sent to the hacker's email address. There was no option to remove the incorrect email, causing frustration when inputting the code multiple times. Each attempt resulted in a message stating, "You have tried entering too many codes. Try again later." It's a frustrating situation and I believe Facebook should address this by removing the unauthorized email from my account.

I need to update the admin for my business page, Made on Earth, from Mary Beth Croce Bryant to the new owner, Barb Signor. Even though Barb can edit the page, she is not showing as a choice for admin due to Instagram admin correlation. I have tried reaching out to Facebook support, but no one has provided a solution yet.

My name is Linz Paskin, and recently I was banned and restricted from Facebook for 30 days. I suffer from severe mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, BPD, OCD, depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Facebook is my only form of contact as I don't leave my house and have no family or friends outside of the platform. I made a mistake with a comment, and I am pleading for the ban to be lifted. I have already attempted suicide once this year, and I am asking for some compassion, especially during this time of year. Thank you.

Recently, I have faced Facebook Slander twice within a six-month timeframe from individuals who lack an understanding of UK defamation laws. As a seasoned journalist with expertise in libel and slander, I have sought legal counsel and secured evidence to support my case. Although the offensive posts have been removed, I believe Facebook can retrieve them for legal purposes. I am planning to take legal action against these individuals, one of whom runs multiple business pages on Facebook and another who is ironically a trainee lawyer. Despite the distress caused, my daughter, a trainee barrister, found the situation both amusing and concerning due to the lack of legal awareness. I aim to hold the offenders accountable for their actions, considering possible hate crime implications against a disabled individual like myself. My legal team, including barristers, is prepared for civil proceedings. Additionally, I plan to raise awareness about Facebook slander through mainstream media platforms. Feel free to contact me at [redacted] for further discussion on this matter.

My mother, Ida G., is celebrating her 90th birthday tomorrow. Due to Alzheimer's, she stopped using her tablet, which she loved for keeping up with family on FB, 2 years ago. With her health improving, we gave her back the tablet, but it won't let her on because it's asking to confirm her identity with 3 friends. Sadly, she only really knows 1 on the list! One is overseas, another is a distant relative by marriage she hasn't met, and the third might not be alive. The system doesn't offer any alternative to restore her access. I'm her son, visiting from Savannah, GA to San Diego, where she lives. I use FB too and can help her. I appreciate any assistance you can offer before I head home on Sunday. Thank you for any help you can provide.

It would be beneficial if Facebook only required a security check when an incorrect password is entered. People are often away from their computers visiting relatives or on holiday. Personally, I do not have friends or relatives added on Facebook but can still message them. The individuals on my Facebook friends list are individuals I used to play "Farmville" with around 15 years ago. Instead of requesting to identify spouses and children, using security questions would be more convenient. It would also be less strict if someone is logging in from a different computer but knows their password. Hackers would not have this information. Additionally, using either my real or fake birthday does not work. Websites should not have the right to ask for your date of birth as it can potentially lead to security breaches in your financial accounts.

My Facebook account was hacked yesterday, and when I tried to recover it, I found out that the hacker changed both my email and phone number. Despite providing my ID, Facebook approved my new email but when I attempted to change the password, I received an error message saying to try again later as I had made several attempts. Unfortunately, by the time I tried again, the hacker had removed my new email once more, leaving me unable to access my account or reach out to Facebook for help. I received an email notification from Facebook asking if someone was trying to remove my email, to which I responded "no," but an error occurred, and I was left unable to take any action. It's crucial that my account is secured as the hacker is using it to contact people. This issue needs urgent attention.
