My Facebook app logged me out tonight. When I opened it to log back in it shows someone else's account and my account as login options. Their account on top. Mine under it. Redacted screenshot attached.
I didn't remember my Facebook password, so I used their "we'll text you a code to confirm you're you" feature to log in.
Once logged in I found my self in some other person's account!
I am shocked this has happened and don't know what else to do. I can't believe it happened. The only thing I can guess is this is the former 'owner' of my current phone number. But the email address I used was certainly mine.
If it is discovered that you purposefully didn't sign out when you had unauthorized access to someone's account, then at best they will ban you from using their service since it's against their ToS. At worst, you could end up in court for violation of the SCA (or maybe CFAA, IANAL) if you are in the US (or similar laws in other countries). That could result in years of prison time.
hi! oh thank you for the welcome I've done both. I've literally been trying every combination possible of logging off quitting app, logging back on via both facebook and spotify for months now, always has the same outcome I log in with my details- and it insusts taht I'm my friend hannah and after a short time kicks me off because she is elsewhere on her spotify! Its actually making me want to tear my hair out how can there be such an annoying fault on there? no ones getting back to me at spotify I'm desperate too sort it :'( :'(
My phone's app is connected to someone else's facebook profile. I want to login using my Facebook profile. My facebook was recently hacked so I changed the password and I guess i am now logged on spotify via facebook with the hackers account. This is so frusturating! Ive tried everything
Every so often I get a text saying that someone has added me on Facebook or someone will update their status and I will get a text saying what it is. However, these messages are coming from someone else's facebook, not my own. I am connected to mine on my phone, but I haven't received any of my own notifications, only someone else's. Does anyone know what could be going on here?
If its a text message then it sounds like someone has input the wrong mobile number on their facebook account, ie your number. I don't know what you can do about this on your handset. It may be worth contacting Facebook to see if they can trace the account using the mobile number given, unless you can see the person's name that the facebook notifications are coming from and contact them via PM on facebook itself.
I don't get emails, I just get random texts, the sender is just a short bit of numbers and for instance, when someone sends a friend request it says to reply with a text saying "add" to accept the request. I will try contacting Facebook to see if they can help.
The other over-pricing issue that is tacky and untruthful is when someone lists something at a very different, intentional price (like the used cars being listed for $5000 when you know they are all worth $17,500) and you contact that person with an inquiry and they tell you the *real* price, instead of just listing it for that price honestly, that is what I was calling out above. That is not okay, not honest, and not a way to sell something. It also is a red flag that this person may be a scammer.
Hi Alyssa, I am accessing Facebook Marketplace through my desktop only. I have allowed marketplace notifications, thinking I would receive an email if someone has contacted me, as well as displaying in Facebook Marketplace inbox, messenger and notifications. I have had potential buyers contact me through messenger but I did not receive any emails. I did thankfully respond quickly as I was using Marketplace at the time. My concern is I am not on the desktop 24/7 and would like to know other than on Facebook Marketplace, is there any other way to know if someone has contacted you without continually checking Facebook Marketplace? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you
You are welcome, Lara! I always renew my posts when it is available. It will place your post back up in the top of searches people do, where new listings usually show first. By doing this, you are more likely to have someone new see your listing that may have been bumped to page 3 of the search otherwise.
Personally I would show them all in one picture then pictures of smaller groupings so you can see the items more closely (currently you should be able to add up to 10 images). I would then put the listing price as the price I would like it someone were to purchase the entire lot, then break down the individual or smaller group pricing in the listing description.
The first time I had messages come through like that, it threw me off. For whatever reason, Facebook has it set up to sometimes do that when someone sends a message; my assumption is that it helps to keep those messages labeled and organized and separate from the regular messages. When you see it change the photo, profile picture, and group name, that is totally normal.
I would have said to check with an auction house, too; maybe try a different one. I have never done anything like that myself; I usually just use Facebook Marketplace, sell at a yard sale, try Craigslist, or sell on eBay if it seems like something that would be more fitting there (you usually find more collectors, but you will have to deal with shipping). If you do research, you may even be able to find someone trustworthy who does a lot of eBay selling and will take care of all of it for a commission of the sales. My uncle does things like that locally, and I used to have friends who did that as well. It may be worthwhile to find help with selling it like that.
I am sorry you are dealing with someone who is frustrating. Even if you are selling for your mom, you can probably let her know that you do not feel comfortable selling to them because of red flags and the extra hassle and just wait for another buyer to come along. If you are the one who has to meet with them and do the exchange, you need to make sure you are comfortable and safe.
Invoicing through PayPal and being clear about this currently has allowed me the freedom to adjust prices for the time being, should there be shipping cost issues or anything. I can also track it better there. I have not shipped anything excessively large or heavy to know if this will still work, but perhaps this could be an option for you to look into more. Again, if you do anything like this, be very, very clear at the top of your listing so you have something in writing to refer back to. If someone is not willing to work with you (especially if you are not a full-on business), you may want to wait for another buyer anyway.
I feel you have been very patient with her. Most people would not pay ahead and expect someone to hold something for that long, especially a large item, especially without communication. You are trying to get rid of the item to make space. I understand how long and unpredictable it can be waiting for a home to be painted by someone hired, but your time is also valuable. Furniture can easily be covered to protect them from paint.
Because it is a mobile home, I had to have the address and visit the seller where it is and where he lives. I gave the phone number because it is awkward using the facebook marketplace app especially when you are driving, I thought it would be courteous to let the seller know if I was delayed. I did not ask for his phone number.
Thank you for your advice.
I can totally understand your frustration. Facebook Marketplace is just like anywhere else. There are a lot of amazing buyers and sellers, but there will always be those bots, scammers, and of-questionable-conscience people taking advantage of the platform. Hopefully you can find a way to sift through it and enjoy the useful aspects of Marketplace and have some better interactions.
I tried talking with customer service at PayPal, and they would not help. They blamed FaceBook! I am getting PayPal purchases notices through messenger for my HUSBAND's Paypal (not my Paypal). No, we don't have the same email, and we don't use the same user name. It is very frustrating NOT to get notified for my account and my purchase but always see his... Can someone help disconnect our accounts and help me with NOT getting PayPal notices through FaceBook Messenger for his Paypal?
Sunny as much as I want to help you the only resolution to this is to contact facebook and tell them about this issue. You are right about PayPal is initiating it's because PayPal is the who process the transaction and the email which is linked to that transaction is also linked to facebook messenger. Sunny your need to contact facebook about this since someone is owning the old email address that is linked to your PayPal account. It looks like you stepped away from our conversation. That's ok! When you reply we'll connect your message to the next available Customer Support team member if the previous Team Member is not available.
So, out of nowhere, when I get notifications about someone messaging me on Facebook Messenger, it says my Facebook name is messaging me instead of the other user. But when I go to the app, it says their correct name as the person who messaged me. But when they come into my phone, it shows my Facebook name, like I messaged myself but it's them messaging me.
The problem is- I don't know which app is subscribed for this page; I can have 100 apps. Graph api don't have provision to provide app id which need to subscribe against user page.This is facebook doc for subscription
Recently I was scrolling through someone's Facebook page (this person is NOT a Facebook friend of mine). I bumped the little ^ on one of this person's life events and it gave me a choice to click "I don't like this" or to click "Turn On Notification". I'm dying of curiosity to know: What happens if I click to turn on notifications in this instance? Would I start getting notifications of this person's posts or life events, even though they're not friends with me? What is that option about, in this case?
