It seems that FB hacking is very common. I keep getting Friend requests from people who are already Friends.


It was certainly a hacker who opened a Facebook Ad account in my name. It's just a question of whether the hacker also disabled my Facebook page, or if it was Facebook in reaction to something the hacker posted.

I tried facebookmail.com and it redirects to www.facebook.com/help/1634546593478660

I just consider Facebook an insecure site to begin with.


That Facebook address looks bogus. Not normal to put all those numbers after /help

That's the same thing I get when I type facebookmail.com into my browser on two different computers. I think it's real. My Facebook notifications have always come from facebookmail.com

I got similar emails. Funny thing is that I don’t have FaceBook.

I also got an email from a long lost friend. He wanted me to send money. Funny thing again is he passed away 4 years ago.

These scammers should realize that those they have tried to scam over the years have pooled their money. We will be releasing a new device. You press the key on your brand new keyboard that says, “BoMb” and the computer that was trying to scam you has its motherboard exploded. And the scammer can’t do a damn thing anymore.

And facebook as NO help for anything. I've tryed all the sites mentioned here and got nothing. I really believe that Mickey and Donald run facebook. The current COB and president are about as usefull as a bag of glass hammers.

As I mentioned above, I consider FB an insecure site. Although I do use it occasionally for some purposes, I don't use it for sharing important things. Email works fine for that. If they suspended my account it wouldn't bother me a bit.

Off OP topic but you should report them when that happens.
