Dear Facebook,
I'm writing to report that my account, under the name Kenneth Earl Harvey, seems to have been hacked. I suspect an outside party may have gained unauthorized access. Additionally, I regret to say that I was deceived by a Facebook acquaintance who goes by "sipoohrey." They directed me to an individual named Woodall Bliss, who claimed to be associated with FGGD Federal Government Grants. This person purported to offer grants for college students, disabled individuals seeking homeownership assistance, and struggling Americans. I was instructed to follow the directions of a supposed agent named Carol Bougie, although I'm uncertain about the spelling. Sadly, I unwittingly provided personal details like my name, address, and state ID under false pretenses.
I acknowledge that Facebook has found my actions to be in violation of its policies, but I implore you to consider the situation and show me compassion. If full access to my account cannot be restored under the name Kenneth Earl Harvey, I ask for complete privacy where my profile cannot be accessed or viewed. This is important to safeguard my rights. Please remember that I am a human being who has made a mistake. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Earl Harvey

I've lost access to my account. Although I can still access it on my phone, the email has been changed, limiting my access. The password recovery process won't accept my old passwords. The hacker removed most of my [redacted] friends. Despite reaching out to customer support, no assistance is available currently. I've had this account since [redacted], and many friends on there are not people I see often as I'm in Oklahoma now but originally from Louisiana. My passwords, email, and phone number are no longer valid. I can provide past passwords, email, and phone number to prove ownership, but the Facebook recovery isn't cooperating. I hope you can help me.

My Facebook account was disabled last Friday for a selfie review. I was in the process of converting my personal page to a fan page for my new business. After hitting the "convert now" button, I was unable to proceed and got locked out during my second attempt. I had confirmed my identity with my driver's license over a year ago and registered my tax ID on Facebook's business page. It seems there is a glitch impacting my business; I lost $[redacted] over the weekend due to this issue.

Hello,
I'm writing to address some issues I've encountered with the Facebook page of the non-profit organization "Samanta S. Ribary Foundation" (SSRF). The SSRF, a registered charity in the USA, recently added a donate button that I tested by donating $[redacted].00 CAD from Canada. Unfortunately, the donation has not appeared in the SSRF's US bank account. Additionally, I attempted to advertise the page in the USA with a $20.00 budget, but I was charged $30.00 without authorization.
Furthermore, users in the USA have reported difficulties donating in US currency, as the donate button is displaying Mexican pesos. Despite multiple complaints to Facebook, I have not received a response or seen any improvements in the donate button functionality.
I'm seeking clarity on the whereabouts of my donation, resolution to the currency display issue, and a refund for the unauthorized advertising charge. I would appreciate your swift attention to these matters.
Thank you,
Evelyne Ribary
Co-Founder and President
Samanta S. Ribary Foundation

Subject: Assistance Needed to Recover Hacked Facebook Account
Dear Support Team,
I am writing to report that my Facebook account, under the username "mashud.hasan.7," has been hacked. The perpetrator has changed my password, preventing me from accessing my account. Despite my repeated attempts over the past few days, I have been unable to recover it. Furthermore, the associated email address "[redacted]" and contact number have been altered, complicating the recovery process as the security code is being sent to the compromised email.
I have tried using the "no longer have access to these" option by providing an alternative email, "[redacted]," but it only redirects me to the login page.
The initial contact number linked to my account was +[redacted][redacted], with an alternative number +[redacted][redacted], and an alternative email, [redacted] I have attached a photo of my national ID card for verification purposes.
Your prompt assistance in recovering my account would be greatly appreciated, as this breach poses a significant security risk.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mohammad Mashud Hasan
Bangladesh
Contact Number: +[redacted][redacted]
Email Address: [redacted]

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Veronique Bubika Hoka. I have noticed that my Facebook profile, which currently has a black and white picture of me smiling, is under investigation. I am confused about why this is happening. Could it be because I have been posting too many items for sale in the Marketplace? I was unaware of any limitations on this. I truly believe I have not violated any Facebook standards. The only thing that comes to mind is when I commented on a post about walking in pairs at night due to scary incidents in Fairlawn. This might have been misinterpreted by someone. I typically share various quotes and funny pictures on my profile. I would appreciate your assistance in understanding what I have done wrong so I can avoid similar issues in the future. Facebook has been a platform for me to stay connected with family and friends for a long time. Thank you in advance for your help. Elizabeth V. B. Hoka

I encountered a frustrating issue with my Facebook account linked to a previous phone number. Despite setting up two-factor authentication, I forgot to update it when I changed my phone number. Now, Facebook is asking me to provide identification or a photo with a handwritten code, which I have already done twice without receiving any response. I have sentimental family photos on my Messenger that I fear losing. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you.

I am the individual who registered the account, Lakema Denise, on Facebook. However, I deactivated my account. I recently discovered that the phone number linked to my account is unfamiliar to me, leading me to suspect that my account has been hacked. I believe my ex-boyfriend, whom I have a restraining order against, might be responsible. I have tried to recover my account using my old email addresses and phone numbers without success. Despite contacting Facebook about this issue, I have not received a response. Please assist me in clearing all login data to enable me to restore my account. You can reach me via email at [redacted] promptly. I am willing to provide the necessary information to verify my identity as Lakema. It is urgent to stop the unauthorized access to my account. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you.

My father passed away when I was only two months old, and my mother later entered into a toxic relationship for 15 years. Her ex-husband's attempts to contact her led to her deactivating her Facebook account after their breakup. As my only parent, I am desperately trying to retrieve old photos of her from my childhood. Her deactivated account under the name Sarah Staten holds those precious memories. I am Lewis Hart, her son, and her current active Facebook account is under the name Sarah Michelle Hart. Any assistance in locating these photos would mean the world to us. Lately, she has been struggling, and I hope to bring her some joy and comfort through these memories. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Lewis Hart.

I am encountering issues with an older account linked to my previous phone number on Facebook. Today, I managed to progress further in the login process by entering my email and retrieving a code. However, after changing my password, I did not receive the subsequent code that was supposedly sent via text. I need assistance in resolving this obstacle.
Moreover, while attempting to update my current email on the app, despite being signed in, I faced password validation errors. Even after attempting to log out and reset the password, the system did not recognize my correct phone number or email address. Strangely, the screen displayed my information alongside a floating white banner. To document these issues, I have taken screenshots of both accounts.

Hello, my name is Michael Lavallee, and I recently started my own business called Triple M Video Productions. I attempted to create a Facebook page for my business but inadvertently encountered issues with the process. Despite my efforts to provide requested documentation, such as my driver's license, my account was disabled multiple times due to suspected suspicious activity. I subsequently created a personal page under my name, Michael Lavallee, only to encounter a similar issue. I am reaching out for guidance as I have been unable to communicate my situation to Facebook directly. I seek assistance in resolving this matter to establish a Facebook presence for my business. Additionally, I have an existing Instagram account under the username Triple M Video Productions.

Hello, my name is Brennen Telken. Recently, I received reports from friends and family about them receiving inappropriate messages and pictures that were not sent by me. Upon checking, I discovered that my Facebook account was accessed by individuals from different states in my activity log. Due to work constraints, I could not investigate further at that time. Upon returning home, I tried to log in only to find out that my Facebook account has been disabled. Since I have important connections linked to my account, I am eager to regain access, change the password, and remove unauthorized users. I kindly request your assistance in reactivating my Facebook account. Thank you and have a great day.

Dear Facebook Team,
My name is Orsolya Mészáros, but I go by the nickname Orsi Mészáros on your platform. I am facing a distressing situation as someone has stolen my identity, and I urgently need your assistance in resolving this matter.
This issue began on June 8th when I received an email notifying me that my account was reported for impersonation. Despite providing a copy of my passport for verification, my account was disabled and then reinstated. However, I recently discovered that during this time, another account was created using my name and my profile pictures without my consent. I have attached a screenshot for your reference.
On June 14th, my account was once again reported for violating rules, which I believe is connected to my involvement in a group with Attila Zoltan Gajdos where we reviewed Amazon products. Interestingly, after the fake accounts were created to target us, additional unauthorized admins were added to our group, indicating a targeted effort to disrupt our activities.
I have used my account for personal reasons, sharing travel photos, maintaining contact with loved ones, and promoting my small handmade business. I have always adhered to Facebook's policies, and I am willing to provide any necessary proof to support my case.
I kindly request a thorough investigation to reinstate my account promptly, as it is crucial for me to stay connected with my family and friends. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Orsi Mészáros

Hello, I am contacting on behalf of Elias Khoury, also known as Leo. We encountered an issue with his Facebook account "Woody Cowboy" when attempting to update information due to a forgotten password. After resetting the password, Facebook required identity verification. As the account was not in Leo's name, we provided his passport, mobile phone records, email address updates, and details of pages he managed under "Woody Cowboy." Facebook is currently reviewing the information. We are seeking assistance to either rename the account to "EK Woody Cowboy" or retrieve photos and videos to create a new account. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I believe my Facebook account has been compromised. The password was changed, and I am unable to reset it as I can't access the email linked to the account. Despite numerous attempts to recover the email password, I have been unsuccessful. Even though my current phone number is associated with the account, I am not receiving the option to reset the password via it. I am extremely concerned about unauthorized access.

I recently got a new phone and am having trouble logging into Facebook. I attempted to reset my password, but I no longer have access to the email associated with the account. Despite multiple attempts using my phone number and a new email address to receive a code, I have not received any codes in my spam folders. After entering the information a second time, I am redirected back to the initial Facebook login screen. I have tried on multiple devices, including my new phone, new laptop, and old laptop, and have cleared the history and caches on each one without success. It is crucial for me to regain access to my Facebook account.

Hello Facebook team, I believe there has been a mistake with your security system as my Facebook account was disabled without any valid reason. Despite using my own clear photo and not impersonating anyone, I am suddenly unable to access my account. This is an important old account for me. I trust this explanation is sufficient for you to reactivate my account promptly. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, my name is Darren Sovich. I am currently on deployment for the US Navy in another country. Unfortunately, I am unable to access my Facebook account and communicate with my friends and family. Due to not having an international plan with my cellphone provider, I cannot use my phone for this purpose. I have been attempting to recover my Facebook account, but I am unable to receive the necessary code for unlocking. Additionally, I am unable to contact any friends to help with the trusted friends option. The email linked to my Facebook account is outdated and inactive from my childhood. I can only communicate through my current email address. I am open to answering any questions and would greatly appreciate assistance in recovering my account to stay in touch with loved ones during my deployment.

I recently set up two-step verification for my Facebook account using Google Authenticator. After formatting my phone and computer due to slow performance, I lost access to the Google Authenticator app and couldn't retrieve the 6-digit code required to log back into my Facebook account. I have my password, email, and other details but am unable to generate the code without the app.
I am willing to provide any necessary information to regain access to my Facebook account, but I need assistance with bypassing the Google Authenticator step. Your help is greatly appreciated.
