I am looking to reactivate my Facebook account after being inactive for 6-7 years. When attempting to do so, I encountered a request for identity verification. The first option involved receiving a code via phone, but the listed numbers are no longer in use. The second option was to request codes from 5 friends, but I am not in Canada anymore and have lost touch with most of the listed friends. The last choice was to submit a scanned copy of my ID, which I did. However, Facebook has not responded, possibly due to my first name being a nickname on the account. It's frustrating that Facebook, a large company, lacks direct customer support options like live chat, email, or phone service. The situation is rather comical and perplexing.

My Pixel Ad Account and Pixel Helper are not matching up. I've attempted various solutions to address this: - Added a new pixel to the funnel - Ensured the correct pixel is connected to the appropriate ad account - Uninstalled and reinstalled Pixel Helper - Verified the pixel is active on the ad account - Previously had a business account shut down when I began advertising about 2 months ago - Everything was functioning well until then, but issues arose when I tried a conversion ad after running successful lead ads - Upon attempting the conversion ad, the system indicated my pixel was not set up - Now unable to access the shutdown ad account to check the pixel number, to confirm if the persistent Pixel Helper ID is from the closed business manager ad account. Can someone assist me with this issue?

Hello, my name is Cheryl Inez S. I provided my driver’s license to verify my identity. Unfortunately, my Facebook account was hacked on January 4, [redacted]. My mother recently passed away on December 20, [redacted], and we buried her on Christmas Eve. With the life insurance not covering all the expenses, I fell for a scam through Facebook messenger from someone claiming to be Robert Mueller. The phone number displayed in the messages was [redacted]. Despite changing my password upon noticing a login from Nigeria, the situation worsened when the hacker from supposedly New York, U.S.A. took over. The hacker also added a new email preventing me from recovering my account. I only use Gmail accounts and an old Hotmail one, but I can't recall the password. The hacker attempted to scam others using my contacts. My disabled Facebook account holds precious memories, especially of my late mother. I hope to regain access. My contact emails are [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] Trying to create a new account led to being under review due to this incident, affecting my work with families whom I connect with via Facebook.

I have an account under the name Javon Davis and I would like to reset the password. Initially, I managed to get recovery codes from three of my trusted contacts. However, when I attempted to use an already saved password assuming it would appear, I clicked continue, only to receive an error stating, “you cannot change your password to a blank space.” As a result, the system took me back to the original login screen, and now I am unable to access the recovery system using the codes. The phone number linked to the account is no longer in service. Despite trying to input the codes, I keep receiving a message that says, “to protect the community from spam, we restrict the amount you can comment and message,” although this is not my intention. Despite asking for new codes, I am given the same code repeatedly after refreshing the site. I kindly request assistance to reset my disabled account. -Regards, Facebook User

My Instagram account, formerly arnoldopiyo_official, was hacked overnight. The hacker changed my username to ibolaynx, email, and contacts. Despite numerous attempts to contact Facebook and Instagram for help, I have not received a response. The hacker is now using my account to send inappropriate content to my contacts. Although the hacker deleted most of my pictures, the original tags remain, connecting me with my friends. I am unable to recover my account as the recovery email's token keeps expiring. This account is crucial for maintaining connections with friends I've known for over two years. I kindly request assistance in reclaiming my account, as reporting the issue has not yielded any results. Thank you for your help. Arnold O.

Hello, I am reaching out because my Facebook account has been hacked. The hacker changed my password and login email to [redacted], which is not mine. I typically log in using my phone number, [redacted]8. I created a new Facebook account to report the hack, but it was disabled unexpectedly. I am unable to reset my password because the verification code is being sent to the hacker's email. I am willing to verify my identity with my ID, passport, and driver's license. I can also provide screenshots of messages sent by the hacker demanding money from my friends using my account. I am eager to find out the location from which the hacker is accessing my account. I can share my contact details to confirm my identity. I have exhausted all options and hope for your assistance. I can provide my ID immediately and can send my passport or driver's license upon request. Thank you, Gabriela P.

I recently realized that my mobile number is linked to an account that does not belong to me. I have been receiving notifications meant for the owner for several months, and it is starting to bother me as I feel like I am intruding on someone else's privacy. This mix-up happened when I tried to recover my brother's account made for my niece. I vaguely recalled the login details he shared, so I asked him to link the account to my number (unsure if he did). Later, my sister asked me to create a Facebook account for my niece. I mentioned my brother had already made one, planning to retrieve the account info for her. However, when I attempted to recover it using my number, I ended up accessing a different unknown account. Apologies for the delayed report; I've been reminding myself to unlink my number from that account for months, finally acting on it now. Unfortunately, I am unable to unlink it due to a "primary number" constraint. Kindly assist in disconnecting my number from the account.

I have a Facebook account under my pen name for my writing, and it's working well. I now want to create another account under my real name to connect with a local group who knows me by that name. When I tried opening an account using my real name and the same email address as my pen name account, it was put on hold for investigation. I then tried again using a different email address and password, and provided a photo as requested. The new account was opened, but it's still under investigation, and I can't use it. How can I resolve this situation and get my account fully operational?

Lately, my Facebook account has been experiencing suspicious logins and daily password changes due to unauthorized attempts. Unfortunately, on 1/17/[redacted], the account got disabled, and the associated email is no longer accessible. The reason provided is violating rights and terms, which I assure you I have not done. What's more concerning is the message I received from Facebook support about an ad account being deactivated and reactivated without my consent. My Instagram account, linked to Facebook, is also disabled, and I am unable to access it as well due to the outdated email. I tried contacting Facebook support but to no avail as the service seems inactive.

Dear Support Team, I logged in recently and was prompted to send a photo for better identification. I complied, but I am concerned after hearing that others who faced the same request were subsequently banned. I have researched ways to expedite assistance but found similar unsettling stories. I value my connections on the platform and wish to avoid any issues. While I have shared some older photos, I have been mindful of staying within guidelines. If my comments have been controversial, they simply reflect my genuine opinions. It is disheartening to feel at risk of being penalized over minor infractions. I hope for a fair review of my profile soon. Best regards, Leilah

Over five years ago, while adjusting my Facebook settings, I got locked out of my account. The profile is outdated and not a good representation for employers, friends, and family. I'm struggling to regain access due to a discrepancy in birthdays, inability to connect with my friends' friends, and scanner issues. The content on my profile is causing issues with neighbors, family, and colleagues. I need Facebook to override the identity check so I can manage my content. I acknowledge the situation and am working to address it. I believe with time, recent activity can verify my ownership. I aim to clean up and deactivate my account to avoid further problems and focus on everyday interactions, even on my Samsung flip cellphone.

Last month, my Facebook account got disabled, and now to log back in, I need to verify it. The only way is through an SMS code sent to my old phone number, which I no longer have access to as it was bought by someone else. Despite trying to contact the holder for the code, I couldn't reach them as the phone is always off. I attempted to recover my account by changing the phone number through the password reset option, but it leads me to a trusted contact page, which I can't access due to verification issues. I've run out of options and feel helpless in regaining access to my Facebook account. I am willing to provide any necessary information for assistance.

I recently met someone on Facebook who claimed to be into investments. After sharing my password with him to confirm my profile and become a member, I found myself unable to log in. My email is [redacted] He added his email to my account, allowing him to scam people using my profile. Despite changing my password and phone number successfully once, I later discovered I could no longer access my account. It seems he has control over it, as attempts to recover my password send the code to his email and phone number. Unfortunately, my phone number was removed from my profile. My account name is Adesilu Ayoola.

My Facebook account, which I've had for about 18 years, was hacked on October 24th, [redacted]. Since then, the hacker has been using Google Translate to message me, and all my account passwords on my phone were changed. I've tried various things to regain access to my accounts and have managed to fix most of them with a new cell phone and sim card, except for my Facebook account which holds many precious memories I don't want to lose. My username is [redacted] and my last password was Lebombos@1. Despite my efforts to reset my password and enter codes sent to my email, I am still unable to regain access. I even have old profile pictures that I can provide as proof of ownership. Please assist me in recovering my account. Thank you.

My phone was stolen recently, and unfortunately, I did not have a lock on it. Subsequently, the thief seems to be using it for wifi and gaining unauthorized access to my Samsung Pass account. This individual is exploiting this access to hack into my emails, read my text messages, and worse, has gained control of my Facebook account and my wife's as well, which were both set up for one-tap logins on that phone. The hacker is intercepting all passcodes sent through Facebook and Google, as they are still going to the stolen device. Despite my attempts to change this, Google is unable to verify my new email for security purposes. This intrusion is causing significant strain on my marriage, and unfortunately, local law enforcement is unable to assist effectively. Samsung Pass allegedly allows access to old email accounts without a password, further compromising our privacy and personal information on social media.

**Help Needed with Facebook** I am currently facing a dilemma as trolls keep disabling my accounts, leading to over 50 profiles being shut down. This issue is not only affecting my career and dreams but also hindering my ability to boost posts and promote pages on Facebook. It appears that individuals are profiting from shutting down accounts for a fee, impacting my work as a motivational speaker and global inspiration. Despite being told that I have the potential for significant social media success, the constant shutdowns have made it difficult for me to utilize Facebook as a platform for positivity and change. I have been struggling for the past two years since my original profile of 12 years was disabled. Despite my efforts, the situation has worsened in the last four months to the point where I can hardly access Facebook. I am determined to spread inspiration and make a difference in the world, and I urge Facebook to take action and address this recurring issue to support individuals like me. Your assistance in restoring my original profile, with its meaningful memories, would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I have lost a companion. I have exhausted all avenues to resolve this matter and hope for a positive resolution.

I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding a fake Facebook account created to impersonate my sister by a family member who has grudges against us. The account was established back in [redacted] but it didn't pose a significant problem until recently. After my sister's marriage in February [redacted], inappropriate messages from this fake account started causing issues with her in-laws. We reported the profile to Facebook, and it has since been taken down. However, the troubles it caused within the family are serious, and we view this as a case of cyber threats and harassment. I am seeking assistance from Facebook to obtain information such as the last login details, including the IP Address, to address this matter with our local cybercrime agency and pursue legal action against the responsible individual. I am willing to provide screenshots of the fake profile and conversations with the in-laws as evidence. Your support in helping me establish contact with Facebook would be greatly appreciated in resolving this sensitive and serious issue. Thank you.
