hey Laura,

Can you make a new account and contact Facebook team to state that your account has been hacked?

So you got hacked, I wonder if you can if you can do this by using another account.

I have made a new account using another email adress i have but can not find anything in the help section regarding my issue. I can log in to my account but it asks me to verify my mobile number but i can not do this as i no longer have the same mobile number.
Is there any other way i can verify my account as it does not give me any other options?

its in Security and the first one says Compromised then Click my friend's account even though it was your own account. Once you get to there click the first one then you have the info.

I have read the information on that page but it does not say how i can verify my page. I reported my account being hacked saturday and thats why my account was blocked for 24 hours. my account is back on now but i can not access it due to not having th mobile to verify the account.

I have tried to contact facebook on the query page that you told me to go on but it keeps saying sorry, something went wrong?
Does it usually take long for facebook to get back to you when you have emailed them with your problem?

if your account has been hacked and there is access to your login email address, reset your password by selecting the "Forgot" link that appears above the Password field on the Login page. When you have done this, an email is sent to you with steps for this process.
2
If your login email has been compromised or changed, and your account has been hacked, then you need to send Facebook a status update. This will allow them to look into it further. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
3
If your email account has been compromised, please take the following steps:
• Think of a unique and complex password and keep it unavailable to everyone. You can accomplish this from the Account Settings page of your account or by using the "Forgot" link on the login page.
• Do step one for every email address associated with this account. Make sure to avoid using the same password for any other account.
• Verify all email addresses associated with your account on the Contact Email section at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
• From your Facebook Account Settings page, complete a unique security question to your account, if you have not already done so.
• Report to Facebook any and all suspicious material at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
4
If money transfers were sent from your account, and you did not send them, cybercriminals could be using your social network in an attempt to trick your friends into sending them money. These criminals gain control using Chat or Status features and claim that you are stuck far away and in need of financial assistance or even worse dead. Malicious software could have been downloaded to your computer or your password could have been stolen by a Facebook phishing website look alike.
5
If you suspect malicious software could have been downloaded to your computer do the following steps:
• Never click on suspicious links: It is possible a Frenemy could have sent you spam, viruses, or malware. Do not run ".exe" files on your computer without knowing their origin.
• Be sure you are using the most current version of your browser, which contains important security warnings and protection features.
• Run a current version of anti-virus software. If your computer has been infected, you will need to remove the harmful programs to keep your info secure.
• From your Facebook Account Settings page, reset your password. Always choose a different one than you use for other sites. Make up a password with a complex number string, unusual letters, or a combo of punctuation marks. It should be at least six characters long. It is not advisable to use common words from the dictionary

Moderator Note; please explain why you have started two topics on the same problem in the same section? Such action does not help anyone let alone in attempts to help you get back into Facebook

Both topics now merged; please keep to this topic on this problem thanks


You may wish to tell us what ,if any, is the Protection on the one computer you use to access Facebook

Is it all fully up to date?

You are telling them what land- line phone number you wish them to call you on

That is the plan...

(unless they have changed their protocols yet again as doing what I told you to do has most definitly worked for others on here ..)
