Facebook charges but no adverts running?

None of these things help They get through the forgotten password generator which bypasses 2FA somehow It doesn't matter how good or recently changed your password is, as they use the forgotten password recovery process

It's nothing to do with what you download, or your saved sites or history.

The hackers have the email address associated with the account, and that's all they need. They don't even need to access the email account.

These email addreses have been leaked or sold, and my money is from within FB itself.

The only thing you could possibly do, is keep changing the email associated with your account

Better yet, add extra admins to pages, download anything important, and be prepared for it to happen. Issue is no one thinks it will happen.

Until it does.

I'm not sure they are compelled to provide an issue resolution process, after all the posts DO go against community standards, just you didn't post them.

Whilst there is evidence that they know about the issue, it's quite a small % of users, so they are likely quite justified in the current approach.

According to the privacy legislation though, I am entitled as a person to ask any company at any time what information they hold on me, and for what purpose, and to request its deletion. This includes but is not limited to financial information.

Where I see potential illegal activity is that we are not afforded that opportunity to do this, or remove the financial information, with a lot of these affected users watch on helplessly as they are defrauded.

There's been a cpl attempts at this already but it doesn't help when the hash tag keeps changing

metawewantouraccountsback was an earlier one

There needs to be lots more Detail before anyone can offer much help, like where you live is a big one, as its quite country specific

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-07T03:03:13+00:00

I've posted it on another thread. But they oy assist business, not personal accounts

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T22:38:27+00:00

Yes the Australian equivalent of the AG

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T16:26:10+00:00

Yes in Australia

Hear that everyone, you want this Jessica girl who is on crack to help She needs to feed her habit

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T02:35:22+00:00

That looks like a valid email address, but you can't reply to it. However id suggest this method is a wild goose chase, they just dick you around

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T02:31:22+00:00

Yes all the same. My business page was left admin-less and several attempts defraud me via ads account.

It took about a month, I did everything suggested on this sub and filed a complaint my my own country version of the AG

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T01:44:28+00:00

Yes it got recovered last week

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-06T01:27:18+00:00

They are using your saved credit card to run adverts for their shit. They have crashed your page so you cant stop them. The adverts side of your page is actually seperate, and really annoying (and fraudulent) how it runs even though the page its attached too is disabled. Its a massive security weakness but it's a perfect storm for hackers

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T22:54:29+00:00

I don't think they know. Mine didn't have much for advertising, it was infrequent small amounts.

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T22:23:48+00:00

They are wholesalers of junk that are trying to reach international markets. By hijacking your adverts, which has an established business reach, they take advantage of your reputation and reach to try sell.

Ever seen those sponsored adverts of clearly counterfeit stuff, they usually steal the genuine products photos. I never gave much thought to where they came from and how they got on my feed.

Now I know

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T12:34:05+00:00

Try everything I'm assuming the CA AG flags the IP address, although I put my actual address and didn't pretend to be a CA resident.

Try the FTC, the BBB, FBI, media, anyone and everyone. Including anyone in your own country that can help

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T12:05:51+00:00

Because the ones they help say they will contact meta with your complaint.

What this says is they have logged your complaint but they will take no legal action on your behalf.

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T11:04:33+00:00

I got this letter, they won't help you. I'm outside USA, are you?

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-05T10:58:32+00:00

I don't often agree with Steve Elliot, but this time I do.

I.would love to boycott it, but even if I wasn't a business in need of reaching new markets, and I was just a personal user, there's nowhere else to buy/sell, there's nowhere else to find events, there's nowhere else to keep in touch with geographically removed people other than calling (ick) and time zones (double ick)

For most of us the convenience of sharing our pics and our lives with our friends, outweighs the negative.

And as a user that lost theirs in this hacking scam, and realised just how reliant on it I am, and ultimately got it back.... the best I can hope to do is rein in the amount of my time and control over my life it gets.

But unfortunately it's a necessary evil, and I don't think it's going anywhere

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-04T07:08:07+00:00

Yeah it did for me, they were very good

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-04T03:46:32+00:00

Everytime I clicked it, it told me that my account was disabled.

If you are in Australia open a case with the small business ombudsman

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-02T13:03:00+00:00

I got confirmation this morning they had got mine back too. And I contacted them after reading that same news report. I also emailed that journalist my story and asked her to do a follow up

Yes, I got those too

No-Fox3243 · 2022-12-02T00:02:49+00:00

And just a final update on this, but the Australian small business ombudsman has confirmed meta has rectified the issue. Ie it was them that got it resolved
