94025 is somewhere in California. Probably the Bay Area because it’s close to mine.

Saw an SUV advertise at FB, got in contact with seller by email and she stated selling car because she is in military and will be sent to another country by end of this month, made payment thru Marketplace Facebook as instructed bought Ebay gift cards and read # at the back of Ebay gift cards, received email invoice was paid and promised the car will be delivered after 3 days free of any charges, then received email on 2nd day after payment asking for more money so they can deliver car to my house. E mailed seller re: insurance for shipping car and called Marketplace Facebook a number of times with no answer. I used a different phone and I spoke to the same person who processed my Ebay gift card payment I told him I'm not interested in buying the car, he asked for the case ID#, gave him my case and i told him I need my money back and he hang up on me, tried calling couple of times no answer. I emailed seller asking for help since during the initial phase of the transaction everytime I don't get an answer from Marketplace Facebook she calls them and I get a call right away. I do not know if they are in this together. Never got a call or email from them since before noon today.

Short, privacy/security breach regarding Facebook. My phone number was leaked or sold to a scammer and they impersonated an automated Facebook message stating that my account was suspended. The phone number that sent the message was (571)-651-4789 and did so in a group text to 18 other victims.

I was speaking to a friend about a situation personally and then the next day got a message from him in Facebook asking how I was doing with everything. I believed it was him because of the prior face to face. He then told me about his business partner and their ability to assess my situation and I followed. 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. I fear I still may have given too much. I’m done with messenger period.

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.)

Said facebook was sharing its profits and I would win 300,000 First send $400.00 of gift cards to Amazon then $400 of I tunes gift cards. This was done thru the phone taking pictures of receipts and code. Then $1800 for delivery for insurance. Last they said FexEx truck got in an accident so it would cost me $10,000 more dollars. That is when I contacted the wife of the messenger and she said they were hacked. The address they used was Medlin Columbia Name Marta Elena Rodriquez 707-395-4137

Consumer needed to contact a locksmith and used Joe's Box app on Facebook. The locksmith pretended to be Millbrae Locksmith Services. Called Millbrae Locksmith and found out they do not use an app to advertise or procure customers.

I was on Facebook Market place trying to buy a phone for work purposes and so me and the girl talked about it. She had it $250 so I asked her about it then I told her I'd let her know. So she messaged me saying she could take it down to 200 because she got another phone and wants to get rid of it and her son's supposed birthday was coming up. So I said send me pics details info and she said she sent it then I'd have to cash app her $150 so I did all that and the next day the package came and there was No Phone!!!! And she ended up taking my $150!!! And also took off Facebook page and cash app name she changed! And I tried to contact her and no answer!!! I have all our conversations and some of her pics and info.

Person claimed they were not a scammer. Said we won government money that helps disabled people in debt. Asked for $900.00 in iTunes gift cards, which they received. We took out a loan for that money that we can't pay back now. Person never gave their name or where they were from, stole Facebook account of elderly family friend to contact us. Said they were apart of the Facebook lottery and we would get $200,000.00 and only pay $900.00 to receive it. Gave them $900.00 in iTunes gift cards. Told us they wanted $3500.00 after that, tried to make us buy $200.00 extra in iTunes gift cards. Used a fake fed ex package.

I was told by representative that I won $500,000.Isent in between $8,000 and 9,000.Allthey did was keep asking for more.They also have some affiliation with Fed-Ex, as on the computer you get ahold of them by Izabella Guedes in a Fed Ex logo,onGoogle I don't think that there ever was a contestHangouts . com.Origianally she got ahold of me by sending Messages on Facebook.But now she wants $800 more . She is at Google Hangouts.com under Fed Ex logo.The money I sent in was supposedly fir processing and delivary of my "prize".She had me send Money grams to different addresses,inclding $5,000 to Phideaux [email protected] sent it on Pay Pal.Pay Pall won't return the money because it was already collected by Phideaux Cuisine.

I would like to see these people arrested or at least put out of business they are taking peoples money under the name of. Facebook Board of Directors and they send E mails using The United States Government. Attorney of the state Department

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!!!!!

I received a text message saying that I had won the Facebook International Lottery. I was contacted by a Barbara Walker who said that she was from the Social Network and I had won 800,000 dollars, all i had to do was pay a courier service to bring me my check. She sent me a FedEx Express Courier price list of 550 for NDA, 500 for 2 day or 400 for 3 day, she said i could choose which one that i would like and to send money Western Union to a Carie Bell in Camden NY, 13316 who is with a courier company and as soon as she received the money she would arrange the money to be sent to me. I told her I did not believe her and I need more proof so she went as far as to send me her Id badge with a QE tag on it. I scanned it and it went to Mark Zuckerbergs facebook page. This lady is very believable so watch out she will text you every day and say good morning dear winner and will not leave you alone!

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.

on sunday may 27 2018 I called up facebook at 3473890021 and spoke to Michael Johnson. he claims he was in the new York office. I told him my problem was that on the right side of the screen the account button was missing. he said he could help me. he said he needs to get into my computer. I asked him if he was going to charge me and he said no why would he charge me. for two hours he was in my computer doing god knows what and then I see him typing $399 into my computer. I asked him if I am being charged. he said my computer is being hacked by hackers and this amount will be refunded to me. I said you told me I wasn't going to be charged. and I told him I don't have $400. he said I would have to buy a googleplay card and pay $400 with my credit card. I told him I don't have. he said well I cannot help and hehung up. I then called his supervisor and he confirmed what Michael Johnson told me. I then called back that 3473890021 and joseph answers and he is cursing me out saying [censored] you and I am a scam artist. I told him they are the scam artists. I then started to email mark zuckerberg the founder of facebook and as I was typing Michael Johnson was still in my computer and he was erasing everything I was typing. I called them back and said if he doesn't get out of my computer I will call the police and the ScamPulse.com. I called the police but they said it is not a police matter. I am writing you in hopes that Michael Johnson and joseph get fired.
