I am 69 years old. I said: "Google, give me the number for Facebook". I called 888-303-2990. I spoke to Sam. He had an Indian accent. I was calling to say I could not access my FB account. He did some research and said that my FB account had been hacked as well as my computer, and he could see they had been on pornographic sites. He said someone was using my profile. He said the scammers were located in Indiana, Texas and Mexico. He asked for my email address which I gave him. He told me the best way to track the scammers was to purchase a $50 Google Play Card from Krogers, but he had a list of stores. He told me not to talk to him while I was at the store. He was live on my phone during the drive and while I was in the store. I went into Krogers on Main St in Bexley, OH and spoke to the clerk at the checkout. She told me not to purchase the card as whatever I was involved in was a scam. I told him they wouldn't sell me a card. He told me to go to a different store. I said: "No, I'm done and I'm going home" and hung up. Sam can be reached at 818-660-1338, ext. 1309.

**** ***** on Facebook indicated that she could give me $500 for $50. You send $50 gift card then pay $100 in Bitcoin and would send $500 in cash app. I went to high school so was very trusting. She got into my Facebook and I no longer have access she also has copy of my driver license due to Bitcoin.

My Facebook friend told me she got a grant. He told me to reach out to John Browne. I have been IM'ing him. I had to fill out a questionnaire asking for name, address and phone number and give 3 reasons why I wanted the money, which I did. He said I was eligible for an $11,500 government grant. He asked me to pay $350 in bitcoin. He said he needed the money to set up the money. He told me to find the nearest bitcoin machine to me. I asked my friend if he had to pay the initial $350 and he said yes. So, I went to Circle K at 8861 E Broad St, Reynoldsburg, OH. Then he said the other guideline is that I have to pay $500 for a processing fee. I returned to Circle K and sent another $500. A bar code was sent to my phone. Then I entered the cash, and got a receipt which has an encrypted address on it. I told him I thought I was being scammed, so he sent me a picture of a box of cash which was supposed to be delivered by Global Logistics in Washington DC. The address on the label is **** **** St nw ste 502, washington dc 20005. Their number is 866-737-7775. Then he said the next guideline was to send him another $500 to pay the courrier. I asked my FB friend where he was working, and he didn't respond. I told John Browne I would not send any more money until I had further verification. I got a message from him saying "you need to listen to me". I told him not to take that tone with me. I would send money on July 2nd. I've kept everytihng on my phone. He said he would let his manager know. I had just got paid on Friday, and that was the majority of my paycheck. I am a widow. I hope nobody else goes through.

I reached out to several pages on Facebook inquiring about basset hound puppies for sale, and ended up on a "Basset hound puppies for sale" page. One individual reached out indicating they did have puppies for sale and lived in Rochester, MN. They provided several pictures of puppies and a video. They needed a down deposit to hold the puppy for pick up and offered the options Zelle, Paypay, and Apple Pay. I paid with Zelle to the account name Victoria Kendrick, email address [email protected], and after payment was sent, they continued to discuss things such as full name of who was purchasing the puppy, address, phone number, email, etc for what they claimed were for the registration papers. I asked several times for a phone number of the seller to discuss over the phone, and they finally texted me from the number 717-535-3545. They said they would call at 8 p.m. but never did. I asked for a refund and was ghosted - my messages are not going through on Facebook where I was primarily communicating with them, and when I try to call the phone number, it says that the number I am trying to reach is no longer in service.

Facebook has become too big for its britches and has taken their social media platform to a new level, they have taken the Nigerian scams and moved the scams to their social media, advertising scams from fake Chinese scammers, laptops of all makes and models that go for several hundred dollars for less than $100, Samsung flat screens that for go for several hundred dollars for less than $100, alleged Amazon returns in the form of a pallet full of merchandise supposedly worth hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, for a tiny fraction of the cost, mystery camera box with hundreds of dollars worth of gear for a fraction of the cost. I was stupid, purchased two items, a mystery camera box, supposed to be a large box, for around $50, took a month to receive two tiny packages no bigger than a pack of cigarettes, with nothing at all what they advertised on Facebook, also purchased a 17 inch Dell laptop for $99, made this purchase nearly a month ago, have never seen anything on this purchase.

Both of these purchases were made through Paypal, and those folks are as guilty as Facebook for being willing to make bogus payments to these Chinese scammers! Both Facebook and Paypal need to be held accountable for these scams out of China, and I want Facebook to pay me my money back with interest, and stop running these false bogus misleading scams countless times every single day, you report one, another one pops up somewhere else on the social medias platform. Mark Zuckerberg is a [censored] and should lose every dime he has being complicit with these Chinese scammers!!!

My Facebook account was hacked. Someone was impersonating me on Facebook Messenger. They posted my picture next to the message. Several of my friends received messages that appeared to be from me. The message stated I received $50,000 from the Government. The money was free. Call phone number 917-503-9997. Three on my friends called me and asked if I sent them this message. None of my friends sent money..

I received a text saying that I won money from a Facebook representative last night. She messaged me this morning and stated that I would need to send $425 as soon as possible. She told me if I contacted anyone that I would not be eligible for any winnings. I believe this is a scam.

I called them thinking it was Facebook. Someone answered the phone as a Facebook employee. They had me to go to Walgreen's and Schnucks and spent a total of $500 on gift cards. They tried to get more money out of me also. This was a scam and I want to inform everyone about it. I looked them up on Google.

Claimed to be Facebook customer service. But when they asked for banking information, the consumer became suspicious. Then they started to text her claim that they had deposited money into her account she told them that she was going to report them. They responded with profanity.

I got a message from my friend on FB saying she got a grant and I could get one too. They are asking for $500 to get $20,000. My mother got the message as well. They even lowered the amount to $200. They want us to buy a giftcard and once the giftcard number is confirmed, they would deliver the money to my door in cash. I said I was scared, I'm 3 months behind. They said not to be scared.

Was trying to help a friend who is a new business owner and was having problems and looked up the customer support number for Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/help/community/search/?query=facebook%20support There is a (866) 380-3888 listed to contact. I called them and they answered as facebook. The woman asked for my name, which I gave as all fb accounts have a user name associated. She made me repeat it a second time so it was clear. She then started talking about how I qualified for a $100 Visa card and that I only had to pay a processing fee. I told her we were not interested and that we only needed support with my friends FB Shop and she hung up on me. No other personal information other than full name was given but was worried about her possibly having recorded my name in my voice as she made me repeat it.

Pretended to be facebook customer service. needed my credit card information in order to assist for .95. They then proceeded to want to send me vitamins for 4.99 shipping and I know this leads to subscriptions which I told them I do not want. I was charged and disputed it with mu credit card company. My credit card company provided the company actual name as LWA Wellness Solutions, based out of Illinois.
