I was contacted thru Facebook by Mary James who asked me to befriend her. She told me I was picked by Facebook to receive a $600,000 in winnings. She wrote, hello, I am Mary from the Facebook head office. i was authorized to pass some information to you thru your Facebook account. but before I proceed I would like to know if you have heard about our ongoing Facebook promo 2017 and have any of our staff contacted you about your winnings. So i will connect you with CEO himself, Mr. Mark so that he can help you claim you winnings and guide you through while you confirm this information in order to forward it down to his office. What is your name, gmail and phone number so that i can forward it down to his office. Okay good and you can also contact him on his office mail [email protected]. Kindly reply to your email now, sir. The CEO has left you a text now on your hangout. I went to the hangout and there was a picture of zukerbarc, I guess that was him. She wrote kindly reply to your hangout now, okay? You have been contacted on your gmail account, so kindly reply to your gmail okay? Go to your hangout, go and check it. I get a text that I should call 1 913 214 1517. They told me the package would be delivered today by Fed Ex but it did not come.

This morning, the Fed Ex office person will contact me to deliver the check. Fed Ex driver was on route. Got called by Fed Ex said the check is official.I called the Fed Ex guy and he said there was a glitch with the financial institution and I would need to give him $800 within 3 days or the offer will be removed. The documentation they showed me shows the presidential seal and official looking government documents. I contacted the number they gave me and the guy there does wood working and has gotten several calls. I did try to call Facebook through Google and it sounded like it was in Indonesia.

Received a text message with only "Hello "

Response (from me) "who is this "

Several minutes pass and received a picture stating that she was with Facebook and needed info about my page.

I stopped communication at this point.

Said you can receive a Facebook grant. Cassandra Dorothy said she received a grant for $40,000. The agent's name was Donna Kelly. Asked for a bunch of personal information about myself. They already had my name.

I have a face book account and for the past few days I have been harassed by "friends" whom, I suspect, have been hacked. They urged me to contact a Stephanie Yvette George, who claims to be a Harvard Lawyer. It is, supposedly, to collect government funds, tax free, in exchange for my sending her a hunk of my own money! Having heard of such scams by Today Show's Jeff Rossen, I was on the watch for such things. Ms. George appears to be in cahoots with a Deborah Bearden West.

I just tried to access Fcebook from my desk top computer. I was on it less than an hour ago. It was fine. Facebook wanted me to log in again, and then will not let me on. Says I have malicious viruses, and I need to download THEIR virus protection. Of course I won't. I'm not going to, because my computer is fine. I'm a nut about keeping it clean. I did a full scan after a fresh update. I don't have any viruses. I'll have to use my phone until this is resolved I guess. I don't download anything....ever. I'm not having any luck resolving this issue.

The email appeared in my inbox on April 28,2017, It said that I had won a million dollars which I knew was a scam. I found a # to call on line, there is a # to contact on the email that was sent. I called and the name that was given me was Ryan Martin at ext 117. He wanted information from the email but I couldn't find it at that time. This person had a real heavy accent and kept trying to reassure me it was real. He waited for about 15 minutes till I told him I'd call him back. I looked on line for Face Book scams and sure enough it was one of the top 5 scams. I contacted ScamPulse.com and they told me to fill out this form.

facebook is a scam, they lure you in with just your email, then after a day or so, they lock you out and demand that you give them more info, like a phone number, "they say its to identify you", but its not ... its just so they can gather more info about you than you want to share with them. .. then in a few more days they completely lock you out and demand a government photo id, they say its to identify you to make sure its you. .. its not its to gather your information and photo. .. they use no other means to contact you, like trying to reach you by email exc... its an information gathering scam. ... they have no way of contacting them, and you cant get into your account to delete it. its you have to comply or they keep your info. ... its a scam. .. and i want them stopped. ... i broke no rules and did nothing wrong, they locked me out while i was using facebook ... and they do other people like that too.. im not the only one. ... other sites connect to facebook, and take your info and use it, like your pic exc.. and share it on the internet to tell everyone online who you are. .. i gave them nothing but others do. ..BEWARE !! "its funny the bbb rates it so high, if you look at the reviews theres only 1 positive review and 189 bad reviews"

I recently could not access Facebook. I called a friend to see if he would look up a telephone number for Facebook so I could talk to someone. I called 650 543 4800. I spoke to someone on the phone and they said they hold on one moment and I was connected to a gentleman name Joseph. Joseph stated for my problem to be corrected they would need $100.00 to correct the problem. I told him I did not do electronic banking. He stated they also took cash cards, any sort of prepaid card would work. I told Joseph that I would contact him after I purchased two $50.00 ITune cards. I called Joseph at 844 992 9994, which Joseph had provided me, Joseph took the numbers of the ITunes cards over the telephone and said to give him a few moments to work on the Facebook and that he would call me back. I never received a call back and my Facebook Page has not been corrected.

I received an email saying that Facebook has decided to check all accounts. When you go to the website listed it tells you it needs your email password to verify. The email hoster is StubHub, which is not affiliated with Facebook at all, its a ticket website for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances, and other major events.

Same words as above because true:

A simple Facebook help for permanent deletion of Facebook acct. turned ugly because of faulty accusations of inappropriate material on electronic devices Facebook pressed had received. This information was absolutely NOT on any device of the account holder. No was not taken for an answer. Lengthy talk was given and fee was almost presented before account holder was compelled to hang up. The account was deleted. Facebook rep. denied still requesting payment. Facebook is always free.

I have received several IMs from the CEO of Facebook telling me that I have won a Facebook Lottery. First I was told that I had won $45,000 and given a claim number. I asked who I could call to be sure this was legitimate and was given a phone number. I called them and they said it is legitimate but they were mistaken and I had actually won $500,000 and needed to send $300 for registration and delivery fees.

She keeps telling me that I am the winner of a 500,000 prize. They will need 300 dollars up

front to deliver our prize, then it was 200 dollars, now it is 150 dollars. I realize if win a prize, you don't pay for your prize. She wouldn't leave me alone. She messenger me for a solid three hours. I did not lose any money, but others should be aware.

A person claiming to be a Claims Agent for Facebook contacted me about lottery winnings with a large sum. This person's FB account had them out of Bosque, New Mexico. I had looked on line to see if there were any scams related to this and I found several reports of scams associated with Facebook and lottery winnings. I never entered anything through Facebook and none were offered through Facebook. I ceased contact with this person as soon as I found out and contacted my local ScamPulse.com office. The person's name was Tarin-Romero Prescilla.

I called this number that came up when I looked up Facebook support/help and a man from another country (possibly Indian/Arab) answered, took some of my information and then told me he could get my account (that I already had on FB) and put it on my new cell phone for a charge of $100.00, must pay up front. I immediately got suspicious and annoyed, called him a "Scam artist" and HE hung up on me. When I called again he answered, heard my voice and hung up again. People need to know this is not a number for tech support for Facebook.
