I believe my Facebook account was mistakenly blocked after reporting another account that was impersonating me. This person is spreading false information and violating Facebook's policies. I had to reactivate my original Facebook account to report the impostor, and even connected it to my Instagram account. However, Facebook has now disabled my account. The fake account is using my Instagram photos without permission and making incoherent posts on Facebook. The impostor is also soliciting money from people. The fake account is under the name Sibongile Pretty, while my original account goes by Sibongile More. You can verify my identity through my Instagram account: 1pong_pong. I would appreciate any assistance as this situation is escalating.

I deactivated my Facebook account a few months ago, but even though I never logged back in, some people are telling me it still shows I'm active with all my pictures. The account belongs to Andy King from Grand Island, Nebraska, with the email [redacted] linked to it. This situation is frustrating and causing strain in my relationship as my fiancée thinks I am hiding something. I need help getting this account permanently deleted to resolve this issue.

I recently updated my phone number, but I'm facing issues logging into Facebook on my new device. Despite changing my number, I was still able to access Facebook on my old phone which I then passed on to my son. Now, I cannot log in on my new phone. I have tried various methods to resolve this, like using trusted friends or receiving SMS codes, but nothing seems to work. I even considered switching my old number back to the old phone to log in but wasn't sure if that would solve the problem. Additionally, attempts to switch my email address haven't been successful either. I haven't received any instructions as promised. I'm open to any suggestions or advice on how to resolve this login issue.

I have been trying to access my old Facebook account with the email [redacted] Each time I try, I receive the message "Unable to verify your identity. Please try again later." There seems to be no option provided to verify my identity, and I used to be able to update the password at least, but now even that prompt doesn't come up. I have searched through various forums, tried calling multiple numbers, and attempted to submit my driver's license, but the page for that also isn't functioning properly. It keeps saying no image is selected even when there is. I am very frustrated by the lack of access to my account, as well as concerned about the breach of confidentiality.

I previously contacted Facebook regarding being scammed by a fake vacation rental link owned by Carlos Morris, a fraudulent profile using hacked pictures. I reported the incident, and Facebook advised me to block him, stating he did not violate their standards. He took an $[redacted] deposit for a rental he does not own. Facebook deleted all messages between Carlos Morris and me, which I now require to dispute the credit card charges. I was unaware of this deletion and am left with only my messages. It is imperative to retrieve these missing conversations to pursue recovery for the theft.

I am facing a serious situation where a person is defaming me and impacting my safety due to negative posts on their Facebook page. This has led to people threatening and assaulting me at my home and workplace. I have taken action by filing police reports for both incidents and obtaining a restraining order against the individual. I am seeking urgent assistance to address this issue before any harm comes to me or my family. My Facebook name is Frank's Hats, and the individual in question goes by the name Pedro Garcia, also known as Garcia Signature Hats. The post in question, featuring my picture, has garnered [redacted] hate comments which have escalated to receiving hate messages from others. Unfortunately, I am unable to access the post as I have been banned from the page. I will send the relevant details from my grandson's account for your reference today.

Hello, Facebook. I am Davin Singh reaching out from my wife's email address. I've been unable to access my Facebook account for over a year due to a forgotten password. I would like to request either the deletion of my account or the removal of all my pictures from the profile, as I no longer want them displayed. Despite multiple attempts to report the profile, it remains active. If necessary, please verify with Jennifer Kakahai, my wife, as my pictures can be found on her profile. Kindly close the old account under the name Davin Singh. I can provide the profile picture for confirmation. The inactive account has not been accessed for almost a year. I sincerely ask for your assistance in deleting the account or my pictures. Thank you, Davin Singh.

Subject: Urgent assistance required with a false review removal request Good afternoon, I am Michelle Trigger, a Family Law attorney based in Roseville, CA. I recently faced a severe incident involving a former client, Kareem Hightower, who threatened and assaulted me at my office. The situation arose after I successfully handled a child custody case for Mr. Hightower, which led to him obtaining visitation rights. However, his unexpected violent outburst forced me to seek police assistance and consider filing a restraining order against him. Subsequently, Mr. Hightower resorted to posting a false one-star review under the name "Farayi Hondo" on my business Facebook page, triggering concerns about his relentless harassment. The content of the review contains completely baseless accusations that do not align with the services I provided him. I have strong evidence to disprove his claims of misconduct on my part. I am reaching out to request urgent support from the Facebook team to remove this misleading review, which violates both community standards and legal directives to cease harassing behavior. The review, posted under a fake identity, serves no purpose other than to defame me and negatively impact my professional reputation. I have attached relevant links for your reference and would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation, and please feel free to reach out if further details are required. Links for reference: Kareem Hightower's profile under false name: [redacted] My Business Page: [redacted] Mr. Hightower's false review: [redacted] Best regards, Michelle Trigger

Hello, I'm Malaki Etuale. I've been locked out of my Facebook account for about two and a half months now. I've tried to regain access without much success and have become quite frustrated. It seems that I may have thought my account was hacked in the past, leading me to open a second account. The account I prefer is the one with the family picture from a holiday in Thailand, while the other has no profile picture. I believe both accounts were created with different email addresses I've used over the years. As an older computer user, I can get easily confused and end up in trouble. I'm unsure which account is linked to which email and what passwords I used. I'd appreciate your help in resolving this issue. I would like to close the account without a photo and regain access to the one with the family picture. Please advise on what steps to take next. Thank you, Malaki.

I frequently deactivate my account due to privacy concerns. Upon logging back in, I was asked to re-enter my email and mobile phone number. Even though I've had the same mobile number for years, I started receiving messages for someone named Rochelle Wilson. After entering the mobile number, I was connected to Rochelle Wilson's Facebook account. I couldn't delete it, but managed to deactivate it. I'm ready to delete all Facebook communication as I've lost trust in its privacy and security. Please advise on how to delete all Facebook accounts linked to my phone number, including any bogus ones belonging to former users. Despite my phone carrier's assurance of updated information, I want to ensure no snooping occurs. I value privacy and respect for others. Thank you for addressing this issue.

Someone reported my recent Facebook Live video of my family night swimming in the sea before the beach closure in Boracay. The video was meant to spread positivity during these difficult times when we won't have income for months. My sister filmed us swimming with my 1.7-month-old baby, 4-year-old son, and 12-year-old niece. Unfortunately, my account has been restricted from posting and liking due to this report. I am disappointed by those with negative intentions. I am determined to stay positive despite these challenges. I'd like to identify the offensive content to avoid such issues in the future and possibly remove unknown friends on my account. Thank you for your understanding and support.

My account has been hacked by someone using the name Jhoylyn De Castro with the ID number [redacted]65. They have altered my login email, password, and contact number. I previously created another inactive account with the same email but can't access it to change my details. When I log in with my email and new password, it automatically takes me to the inactive account. I need assistance in blocking the account associated with the hacker to prevent any further misuse of my information.

I recently sold an item for $[redacted] through Messenger but encountered an issue with the payment method used. Despite updating the debit card details, the funds were sent to an old PayPal account that I no longer have access to, causing a loss for both the customer and myself. Despite reaching out to Facebook and PayPal for assistance, I have not received a resolution. It would be helpful if Messenger transactions included clear information on the destination of funds to avoid such situations in the future.

My name is Ayo-Oluwa Salawu, and I deactivated my account due to harassment from someone using the Facebook account Presilia Roolger. I was deceived by this person into a compromising situation during a video call, and they are now blackmailing me. They initially demanded £[redacted], and now they are asking for an additional £[redacted] - £[redacted] with threats of releasing the recorded video. Feeling pressured, I already paid the initial amount. This individual pretended to be a 23-year-old woman on the call, where inappropriate behavior occurred. They are now threatening to share the video, falsely claiming it involves a minor. I alerted the police about this situation. The perpetrator is contacting me via Hangouts using the email [redacted] and the Facebook account Presilia Roolger. I seek assistance in stopping this blackmail. The latest demand is an extra £[redacted] within the next 15 minutes, or they will post the video on Facebook. My contact number is [redacted]8, and you can email me at [redacted] Thank you.

I believe my friend's hacked account has affected me, as I have received scam offers of $[redacted],[redacted], which I ignored. I regret clicking "accept" on a message claiming my friend wanted to communicate via Messenger, as one doesn't need to accept anything to use it. Now, I've received another suspicious message supposedly from my son, asking me to "send a link" to join him on Messenger. I refrained from clicking it, concerned that my account might have been cloned. Additionally, on my recent birthday, I didn't receive the usual greetings, which is unusual. Can you verify if my account has been compromised? Thank you, Sue.

Seven years ago, I accidentally activated advertisements on my Facebook account by pressing a button. At that time, the ad system was not widely used, and I didn't realize what I had done. I declined a payment of around $20 that was requested. Now, Facebook claims I owe them over $[redacted]. Despite multiple attempts to contact them, my account and popular pages like Rambo's Collectibles are inaccessible. I've been trying to resolve this for years with no luck. I'm concerned about losing customers and followers. Can someone please assist me with this issue as my Cosplay Jewelry page now shows "payment disabled"? Thank you. - Ryan S. B.

The user is concerned about a social media post promoting sexual services, calling out the platform for allowing such content. The post in question includes a phone number urging users to engage in sexting. The user expresses disappointment that a mainstream platform like Facebook permits this type of content, criticizing the inconsistency in content moderation. They also raise the issue of privacy and accuse the platform of supporting a porn star allegedly attacking the sitting U.S. President. The user insists that this violates social media guidelines regarding sexual exploitation of adults and prostitution.
