Facebook needs to fix this - at least give people a way to shut stuff like this down right away. They've been lazy about this for decades.
this is what happens when companies rely on broken algorithms
@@dawn1berlitz - Silly AI crap, this is what happens when we rely on machines for everything.
This is why you don’t trust computers, algorithms, or A.I.
"Paypal figured it out but meta couldnt"
Because money talks and bullsh*it walks.
@@BillAnt No. PayPal has access to your financial data including government issued SSN and IDs. However, you do *NOT* have to prove who you are to create a FB account.
@@DemPilafian - Exactly my point, when money is involved like with PP, they have all your info and guard it with better security.
I used to be on social media until I realized how unsafe and how much time I wasted looking at what others had for dinner that night.
So, let me get this straight: Facebook refuses to help me get into my account after losing my password, but randos can control them? I HATE Facebook, and I hate that ugly troll of a bully whom created it.
Did you give your password to the hackers? How did they get your password?
@@DemPilafian One word : Hackers...
@@EricStCyr Not a magic spell. Why did he hand over the password or run the malware?
@@EricStCyr 99.9% of the time you have to open the door for the hacker to get inside. Once inside, it's game over for the victim. These types of hackers are criminals and should get very long prison sentences, but you still shouldn't open the door for them.
It's really frustrating that the support team is unwilling to help. I had the same problems with my account, but an expert was able to solve the problem for me.
If you really want to send a message, make sure you’re threaten to strip their business license for being complicit in online fraud. I don’t give a damn if they retaliate.
This happens on all sites, especially this one. Many accounts here are actually valuable. And yeah YT might take weeks to help...if they do at all.
At the end one anchor says “I can’t believe it took so long”
Frankly I can’t believe it took a soft news story to get a reset code just to make this PR disaster go away
I can't tell you how many fraudulent accounts I have reported and very seldom do then delete the accounts. It's very frustrated!
This is complete BS, cause this over WAY MORE than you think. Keep reporting on this, Facebook doest care
BTW, this is what happens when you outsource to Foreign Countries, they put their Mal Ware on your systems and gain country behinds the scenes
People who are scammed including the friends of the victim whose Facebook account was hacked should all sue Facebook in court. Because at the very least Facebook is responsible for not responding to the victims plea for help.
Never been on Facebook, and never will.
Facebook can still fck you. Anyone can create a page for you or your business, say anything they want as you or about you and your business, and destroy both you and it. And you wouldn't have ever even had to have visited their shtty website much less create an account on it.
NO ONE IS SAFE
Anyone notice the street address at meta 1 hacker way!? That is a weird coincidence 😅 or, is it!
Why would it be a coincidence? That street didn’t exist before they built that campus… it’s their own road.
WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE ⁉️⁉️
it happens all the time, I have multiple friends text'd me telling me my fb account got compromised
Wouldn't be surprising if FB is selling info to these hackers... Otherwise, how would u know he was a widower. And that FB has done nothing about this suggests there behavior. I wonder if they profit from any of the donations sent through their website/app...
And yet my account gets permanently disabled because I was out of the country on vacation when they asked for verification. Went through all the hoops and never got it fixed.
Losing access to an account can be frustrating, but there are often professionals who can help
After encountering this issue for a period of three months, I diligently pursued all the required measures to address the problem and contacted the support team for assistance.Unfortunately, they failed to take any action to resolve the issue, leaving me exceedingly frustrated.
*Zerry____Coding🙏* thank you!!! And thus videos that rec…him
He's the pro expert that effectively resolved the issue for me and others
He has over 1k instagram followers
This is happening to my friend (and her friends). What a nightmare. I don't know who I'm more angry at, the hacker or Meta.
FB did nothing, sent me a couple of canned replies. I found a site on FB in which young people in an east coast southern state were being taught how to shoot guns.The ages of the young people appeared to be around 14 to 25. Although there was no so called hate talk, the scenario of one video after another claiming to teach self defence with martial arts and target hand gun, rifle practice.(see Survival Sisters ) was alarming.
That's why it's best not to post everything that is very personal on FB or any social media platform. It will stay online FOREVER.
These tech companies fired most of their staff and left automated systems to do all of the work. While I can understand the huge burden that comes from policing a site the size of something like facebook, youtube, twitter, etc, there still needs to be people in the loop somewhere. I have had both facebook and youtube censor me in objectively absurd ways and without any sort of recourse or way to disagree with it. Facebook at least lets a person go through the motion and pretend as if we have some sort of recourse but on youtube comments just disappear. I stopped using facebook and I'm really close to not using youtube any more because of it. I'm probably one more disappearing youtube comment away from canceling my subscription and not using the site any more.
This is why I left Facebook years ago
It’s sad you have to go to the media to receive help.
I dont have facebook...this is just one extra reason
Everyone should delete facebook, it’s gotten to bad.
Aren't you OVER SOCIAL MEDIA yet???
Is youtube social media ?
Evil FB
Let me guess, the victim clicked on a link in a fake email. No such thing as a free lunch ..... especially in the internet.
compare fb to tik tok?!
That really sucks, but boomers need to learn about password security and password managers. Ultimately, if you aren't responsible with your account, that's on you.
I disagree, a multi-billion dollar company that uses account holders as advertising audiences should be able to offer live customer support. I wasn’t hacked, but I hadn’t logged in for months and their algorithm flagged me as a potential risk. It verified my password as being correct, but still forced a verification protocol that randomly selected two people from my friend’s list. One of which, had passed away years prior, the other I hadn’t spoken to for years and was unable to receive a reply. Also, most hackers are experts at security exploits, so you’re only presuming this man was uninformed or a careless with his personal information.
@@CuriosityQueue there are 3 Billion Facebook users. That's almost half the planet's population. How could you provide personal support to over a third of the humans on the planet? You'd have to employ 100 million support agents.
someone could of hacked into facebook and scooped up accounts
This doesn't just happen to boomers.
@@TroyBrophySo Facebook can profit from having 3B active “users” monthly, but when it comes to providing basic security and customer service for said 3B active “users,” that’s just too expensive? Got it. The only reason Facebook can get away with this is because of lack of competition.
