Called to talk with Facebook. I looked up the number and it was for Facebook Headquarters. A guy said that my Facebook had a virus, and I needed to buy gift cards for software. They told me that they would reimbursement me. I purchased $3600 in gift cards. They had me running around town buying gift cards. When I gave them my debit card to reimburse me, they said I needed to pay another $500. I went to my bank and they told me it was a scam.

I was contacted by text message from a ‘rep’ (Felicia Sue) from Facebook.

It stated I won a 500K ATM card.

I have all the texts and credentials on my phone.

They wanted $350 to send the funds overnight on December 30th. The prize would only be available till the 31st.

Saying I would not have the funds till the end of the month, miraculously I was able to push paying till the end of January.

I was contacted today (1/24). When I asked what the cost would be now, as I don’t need overnight delivery, ‘Ms. Felicia’ got testy.

There were constant grammatical and spelling errors in the texts.

I’m going to see how far I can keep her waiting.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

FACEBOOK USERS BEWARE OF FACEBOOK!!!

I had quite a few (6) of unauthorized transactions made on 11/19/19 from Facebook itself. Apparently they somehow managed to get ahold of MY *** information and made these charges without having my consent for anything. I did not buy anything from Facebook, I did not advertise anything on Facebook, I have never given Facebook my card information nor my *** information for any reason what so ever! So how did they get ahold of my card/*** account information and charge multiple charges to MY bank account and not have the “Okay” to do so from ME?? (The original account owner)… So as I am trying to find this information out from “customer support” they proceed to tell me they need a screen shot of the charges (pictured) the last digits of the card number (given), and then when I ask all of these same questions they then tell me they can’t tell me any further information because they are “protecting all users” in this situation. I feel as they are supposed to be protecting ME as I AM the one that almost suffered the loss as an “account user that they are supposed to be protecting”. Yeah right. So I’m reporting for scam work here on facebooks side because all of the transactions show up as “Facebook” that charged my card, seems as though they are only protecting themselves, I gave them a fair warning when they refused to help me. So here it is. Facebook took my money without my consent, apparently hacked into my *** account to do so without my knowledge. Had it not been for my bank and for the protection of *** customer support they probably would have gotten away with a lot more of MY money… the money was refunded in full by *** but how they got my card information is still unknown and will likely remain that way…

Type of a scam Employment

I had a scammer on a focus group called make money online. Clicked on the link as I thought it was legit . It prompted me for my email address and password. I then got locked out. The hacker removed my email address, changed my password, removed my phone number, removed all my emergency contacts and unfriended my wife and blocked her after 10 years of marriage. Worse off he keeps posting the same link to my feed so others have the potential to fall for the scam. Worse off my wife’s phone is getting my contacts added to her whattsapp number. It seems like everything is getting compromised. I have spent hours of my time trying to fix the issue by going back and forth to the security team and they do not help I am still locked out. I have attached a screen shot of the scam for your reference. My issue will be resolved if I can stop the spreading of the scam and then close my Facebook account so I can’t start over. This is my old profile www.facebook.com/shehzadm. I am extremely frightened to the point where I have to Reformat my main desktop computer. My wife’s credit card was charged $600 is for a wish purchase which she doesn’t even use. My wife’s and her fathers scene point were emptied out so she is disputing that. This is so scary and frustrating everyone needs to be warned about this scam to avoid it.

Friended the business partner named walker Johnson jr. I told him I was referred by my friend. He asked for questions and at first i was ok with it. I gave him name, address, age, and email. Then when he started asking about salary and etc.. I did not want to comply and reached out to my friend via Phone call and found out he knew no such person, so I went back to the questions and gave fake income and etc to the rest of the info and reported it to Facebook.

For several days, my Facebook feed was not working. After contacting FB and getting no response, I posted my issue to the Facebook Community page. Shortly, "Jasmine Smith" suggested that I call the "Facebook Support and Facebook Helpline" phone number 888-920-5999. I called and spoke with someone with a thick accent who identified himself with FB. He asked for my name and said he could run a test to determine if my account had been hacked. After several minutes, he confirmed that my account had been hacked, where the hack had originated and when. He said the hacker would have my IP address and access to everything on my computer, including any recent online banking transactions. He said not to worry, though, that he could fix it and I would be covered by Facebook. My first step would be to close my connection to the internet, then go to a local store and buy a $25 Google play card. Afterward, I should call him (he gave me his direct phone number and extension) and give him the key number. This made no sense to me, but he explained he’d be able to gather information from where the card was purchased that would allow him to reinstall my FB account. He would then reimburse me for the cost of the card, either directly to my bank, credit card, by money order or check. Then he said I should discuss the issue with no-one. I knew something was wrong. "Jasmine" has posted several more times to other users, giving this bogus assistance. Apparently others have been affected by this scam, as I was able to locate additional information by doing more research. (Note: I originally posted a screen shot of the Facebook Community message exchange with Jasmine, but since my personal information was included, I removed the picture. If you want further information, I’d be happy to send you shots of the message exchanges with Jasmine.)

On July 2, 2018, I received a pay pal invoice of $50.00 from Facebook for Ads. I was at school when I received this information, so I called to cancel the subscription. The man that I first talked to was named Jason and he told me I could receive my refund for everytime facebook took money out of my account and I did not use the ads. I immediately agreed, and the man told me I had to buy a set of google play cards from my local grocery store. I did not have access to a grocery store so I called my girlfriend back home and had her to get the cards. The man told us we were on a time limit but never told me how much time I had. My girlfriend bought the cards which came out to be $150.00 for three cards, unfourtanetly the man said we ran out of time but he could open the system up again for us. So she bought the cards again for $150.00. This time we made the time limit. Those cards were to verify who I was, then the man said I needed to by a set of $100.00 cards, my girlfriend thinking it was a setup did not purchase the last two because she figured something was wrong. She hung up, so I called back and talked to the VP of that department and he told me that he would help me I just needed to buy the last 2 cards. His name was Steve Allen and his station number was 1496 he told me to buy those two cards and he would send a link for me to use in order to cancel my subscription. I got mother to buy them and called him once she received the cards. I waited outside of my classroom for twenty minutes before hearing a response he told me give him a few more minutes. When he returned to the phone he also told me I ran out of time but he also did not tell me how much time I had. After that I asked him why could I not receive my money back for the cards that I had bought that they guaranteed to pay back and he told me they couldn’t, but told me I could buy a set of $300.00 cards and he could open the process up one more time just as the first representative told me so I hung up the phone. I contacted the CEO of facebook and he never replied and I told my family to keep the google cards along with receipts. please help me get my familys money back and prevent this from happening to someone else!!!!!

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

A hacked "friend" contacted me via Facebook Messenger to say Moran Briddie, an alleged "Claims Representative" at Facenook,had a "Facebook Giveaway" list where I was a cash winner of a Facebook contest. Moran directed me to the winner list and I found my name. I was directed to a prize list that had prize award amounts with a "case" and "delivery" fee to process my prize. My hacked friend and Moran insisted this was legal, legitimate, and only unique prize protocol that Facebook insists on. I paid in advance $22,950.00 for an alleged $400,000.00 prize delivery. The "cash prize" delivery was scheduled and alleged to be in progress. About a half hour after the scheduled delivery time, I was contacted to say DHL "insurance" agents had put a hold on the cash prize release until I paid $65,000 in insurance fees. I argued, got them to reduce it to 48K, but told them I had spent all my savings. They finally said they had found a "work around" and had rescheduled the cash delivery. Once again, after about a half hour from the scheduled cash delivery date and time, I was contacted and told "the IRS" had put a hold on the delivery and was demanding 65K more payment before the cash prize would be released. I again insisted I do not have the funds to pay this ramsom. I also called the IRS and DHL and they both disclaimed charging insurance or tax fees in this manner. With $22,950.00 having already been advanced and alleged to be "non refundable," I asked for other options. I am now being told to purchase Apple computer "gadgets" (iPhones, Macbooks, etc.) and send them to various addresses. The first address is: Tanya Wallace, Apt. 3. 1011 19th Street, South Moorhead, MN 56560. Moran wants me to charge to my credit cards between 38K and 48K of Apple "gadgets", ship them to these kind of addtesses and then my cash prize will be awarded and delivered. I asked for guarantee assurance and she will not even meet with me, saying it is against Facebook policy. I had asked earlier why Facebook did not just deduct handling and processing fees from the gross prize amount and again was told it was against corporate policy. I have not proceeded further and am reporting this scam that has a hacked friend’s account contact the victim and convince them that a rip off scam is really legitimate. I also would desperately appreciate technical help from Facebook in downloading and / or copying my Facebook Messenger chat log with this scam thief. There is no user friendly way to do this. Since the Facebook name us being hurt by this kind of thievery, it will help them and myself to track down these rogues and bring legal action against these criminals.

Somebody hacked my Facebook account and I was attempting to contact Facebook to find help shutting them down. Password changing was not working. I googled Facebook number and an ad popped up with a phone number (see attached picture). I called the number, told them my problem and they told me my account had been hacked through four different ip addresses and rattled off information about my state location, my name and phone number. They informed me that a person had died because of the hacking into my account. They asked for my email address, my full name, and the phone type I currently used to access Facebook. They instructed me to not hang up the phone and to drive to the nearest department store and purchase an iTunes gift card. They said I had to stay on the phone with them the whole time. They said that I would need to give them the card number to purchase anti-hacking software for my account and then they would transfer me to another person to get my refund. I then started questioning things. They started pressuring me stating this was urgent and time sensitive. I hung up on them and they began calling me from a different number. They didn’t stop until my husband got home and told them that I was unavailable because I was talking to the police about the person that died because of my account being hacked. They hung up on him when he said that. He called them back and asked them their name and they told him Jeremy Patterson and that corporate facility location was Menlo Park, California. They confirmed that they were in Facebooks corporate headquarters when he asked. He asked for a manager and they refused to transfer him to a manager.
