RE: cloned facebook account
I just saw a news story that there is a Facebook hoax where people make it look like they have cloned your account, but they really haven't. I cannot quickly find the story in my news app. I also think the Friend request that come to your email account are hoaxes in and of themselves and should just be ignored. They are assuming you have a Facebook account and hoping you'll click on the link to accept. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of regina alvarado Sent: Monday, October 8, 2018 9:40 AM To: Viphone Subject: cloned facebook account Question for a friend.

RE: cloned Facebook account
I don't think there is a phone number, but it does make me wonder what she used for a password. I think in a huge majority of cases where people's accounts get hacked it's either because they use a super-simple password, or they weren't careful and responded to a phishing email where they gave away their user name/email address and password. I know this is no consolation for your friend at this point, but it's the sad truth.

cloned facebook account
Question for a friend. Her Facebook apparently has been hacked. They have all her memories, pics, etc. She changed her password, but Facebook says it makes no difference. Is there any way to contact Facebook by phone? She doesn't want to lose her whole account that goes back many years or she would make a new account. If there is no number to contact facebook, is there a way to transfer old account into the new account? It is like account was cloned, and now strange people are tr'ying to friend her. Please any ideas are welcome quickly. She is very upset. Exactly why I don't use FB much! Thanks. Absolutely no techie on this!
