[Hacked Accounts Facebook Free Download

Most shockingly, there was an advert running that I did not recognise, and that I certainly had not created. Hideously, it was set up to spend up to 1200 per day, and had already breezed through just over 168.
I nearly died.
Yes, I am pleased with the outcome. I got the refund and they cancelled the charges, as it was plainly obvious that the ad was created by someone other than myself, to promote something that was nothing to do with me.
This could help reduce the damage of a rogue ad. Even if the hackers changed these settings, the system should notify you about the change, so that in itself would be a useful warning to investigate your account.
Damages on my end are limited to about $40 for now, but still I had to put a hold on my account for anything that would come from PayPal as some transactions that were supposed to hit my account tomorrow were for a total of $1200, and not only from Facebook.
This happened to me last August 25, 2016 when I noticed unauthorized use of my account, I discovered that I was made as an Advertiser by a fraudulent company along with few more people from different parts of the world, unfortunately, the case was not resolved and I do not get to boost my Ads again. I had reported the incident many times and their response was far from positive. I was asking them if I can settle only the amount that I legitimately used and the Ad placed on me be waived and investigated, it was bad that they could not do anything about it. I really need a help since I want to restore my Boost buttons back.
Hi Marie, my FB ads manager also has been hacked, someone else was advertising from it, creating 11 ad accounts (Outstanding Balance = 382 USD) and Facebook was restricted my account and no way to recover it.
Please I would like to ask you if there is any other way to solve this problem since you have already encountered the same problem.
Thank you.
This happened to me on Tuesday 21st. I have a business manager account as I work across lots of accounts and spend a substantial amount of money with FB. No money was spent as I noticed the doggy ad before it went live. However I use the same payment source across campaigns which has now been stopped by FB. I have contacted them five times a day to resolve this issue. They are a joke, and seem totally incapable of dealing with or resolving the situation. Four days latter and they cant even say when the issue will be resolved. I am now losing clients as I cant run campaigns for them. Once my Google MCC account was hacked, it took them just 2hrs to arrange a credit and have me account live again. FB are beyond rubbish and hide behind online help.
Just fill that form. The information on this article is a bit outdated regarding that form. Just choose the transactions from that page and add a detailed response along with some screenshots of the hacked ad account where you can see the transactions.
One additional advice i would like to add:
Check your recent friends you have added. Sometimes you add a person and invite them to your page. It might be a hacker. Check for Admin roles in both your pages and ad management account.
This happened to me when i discovered a person i added to my friend list and invited to a page is somehow a hacker who set their role as admin to my ad account. I was able to remove them from the list but they have created ads worth Rs.52000 from my ad account in 3 days!
Reported today, still waiting to hear back from FB. They are investigating.
I used that option and sent an email explaining the situation, to which I received a very quick reply stating that they could not refund me because the ads were run according to my settings. (I think it was an auto-responder, not a real person, as it was so fast).
My account was also hacked early Jan 2020. FB accepted my account had been compromised and I got the money back but my account has been suspended because of the nature of the ads. Despite numerous appeals they have not reinstated my advertising. I run a a digital marketing company (new start-up) and this has lead to lost customers and me very probably closing my business.
Tony, did you try deleting your personal Facebook account? As far as I know, all info (including business assets) attached to your personal account would vanish after 30 days, then perhaps you would be able to start fresh with a new account?
Thank you for this article and indeed it has given me a little relief and reassurance. I just found out my ad account has been hacked and the hacker managed to spend $6,000 over the last 4 days without me realising. I chanced upon your article as I was wondering what was the likelihood of FB refunding me my money. I do hope I get the same outcome as you. Thanks again!
Same exact thing happened to me today. Thankfully caught it after $750 spent, daily budget was $3900 and could have been much worse. What a disaster. I filled out facebooks support request but based on the responses here it doesnt seem promising. Any success contacting bank?
The exact thing happened to me early hours of this morning. Someone gained access to my account and listed multiple adverts. I last posted an advert last year, fortunately I had removed my card details so no charges where made to my account however the fraudsters added multiple VISA and Mastercard accounts to my profile and successfully made charges to these. I made futile attempts to contact both VISA and Mastercard to warn them that a few of their users were compromised but was told that it is not their problem and their banks must handle it.
I had my personal FB account hacked and they used it to hack into my Ads accounts and kick me off as an admin. They then launched ads on two of my businesses, spending around $1000. My bank in Australia challenged the amounts and they were refunded.
But two months later I still have no access to any of the business pages that I created (3). I have provided Facebook with over 30 pieces of evidence showing that I am the true creator and owner of these assets including the fact that two are physical businesses, Australian Securities Commission documents showing that I own the business names in Australia and the domain names as well. I also pointed out that my likeness is all over the pages in photos and video posts, but I have still not had a response apart from the standard ones saying that they understand, the appreciate my patience blah, blah blah.
Argh! I am really getting to the end of my tether and have had to go to alternative ways of promoting my 3 businesses.
If anyone out there has any ideas for what I can do next to actually get some action I would greatly appreciate it.
My account is also hacked today but in my case hacker has removed my admin access and has given me the partial access.
There are 3 new admin in my business manager. I contacted with fb help support. They asked me wait for 24 hours.
Hoping for the best
So I originally used my Facebook account with my Oculus, but my Facebook account was then hacked and I had to create another Facebook account, which I then added in my Oculus. The problem was every time I logged into my Oculus I had to switch accounts, though I still had access to the games I purchased. I finally was sick of that, so logged out of the original account on the Oculus and logged in with the new Facebook account. Well guess what, I lost all access to my purchased games, so I wondered how I could get those games transferred?
HELP!! I too can't access my account now because of the 2 factor authentication process that won't allow me to actually get into my account after having my ID verified multiple times and getting the password reset. You won't turn off the authentication so I'm stuck going in circles!!
Hey there, @Andrew.crefeld.7! We did want to mention that transferring games between accounts is currently not possible. However, we would still love to see how we can help! We did receive your PM and will be getting back to you as soon as we can.
