i don\'t think i\'m going to do this. it sounds like someone trying to make a fake id?
This is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!! At 3am
Today I got a FB message from a supposed FB employee, essentially
Saying that I\'d won 600k, and did I want cash or check.
I played along for awhile, and it became clear she wanted money. I turned her in and will go public if FB doesn\'t do something in 24 hours.
Now I\'m worried that something weird will happen, like it did to you.
Funny how they want picture and birthday. SCAM!!!
Are you locked out?
I wouldn\'t send any info! Report to Facebook! I have been having problems with it too, like someone hijacking my page, all this people n sites I never heard of..
yeah, i\'m locked out. i didn\'t know anyone can do that besides people in facebook, and then i realized a hacker can. scarey though. good thing my internet skills suck, i have no clue how to scan an id over to facebook. lol. so i can\'t do that anyway. but what if i could. where would it have ended up? nigeria?
This is why I hate social media. It has it\'s good points, but one soul gone wrong, and millions of people pay the price with stolen identity and a zillion other kinds of problems including stalking.
Sorry this is happening! Everybody loves FB. Not me. I\'m trying to protect myself as much as possible. But I\'m fully aware that Big Brother knows everything they want to know about me. We have no secrets people.
Careful out there. xo
true, darla. i know people who no longer have cell phones AT ALL because they claim the NSA is listening. personally, i think they are listening to the billionaires on the planet and the celebrities (even though they shouldn\'t be) and then criminals/terrorists). i think that would take up enough money and employees right there. lol. i don\'t like any of it either. the amish have it right, LIVE NATURAL. its the only safe way. (but also CLOSE DOWN their animal farms and puppy mills - along with alllll the other animal farms and puppy mills. really disgusting how people like that treat animals. unreal).
i miss the opinions/comments on facebook, its fun and i will miss the politics. LOVE the memes and the jokes. personal photos, most people go too far and there is always a soap opera attached on some level - good or bad. so its easier to stay away.
today, the supreme court upheld obama\'s 2012 \"okay\" for gay marriage. the court is citing the 14th amendment. i wanted to see what people had to say. one of the girls from junior high has a daughter who is gay (do they call that bull ring nowadays? i don\'t know the slang.) and one of the \"girls\" from u.s. air who died a few years ago, her middle daughter is \"gay\" (though how do they know that when so young? still would be interesting to see what they have to say, the young ones think that is a normal life progression, reminds me of Rome in the 1500\'s, it was a right of passage, so its a repeat again i guess?
I think that all the posting going on in celebration of equal rights flooded facebook and shut it down for a bit. I would never give out my ID on social media. It\'s a scam
thank you larissa. people are saying the account is hacked and to change browser settings or restore them. call the fraud department. reset password from e mail account. today i have a new message.
Other Types of ID
If you don\'t have a government-issued photo ID, you can upload two alternate forms of ID. We accept:
Company or school ID
Library or gym membership card
Birth certificate
Social security card
Bank statement
Utility bill
Together, the two IDs should clearly show your name, birthday, and photo.
BANK STATEMENT? This gets fishier alllll the time. so creepy.
report them as phishing. Or just delete and block them
now it says, do i want a greivience officer for \"india\" so does that mean the hacker came from india? so weird.
Why do I need to upload and send my ID?
We require everyone using Facebook to use their authentic name and birthday. This way, you always know who you\'re connecting with. When we discover accounts that look fake or like theyre using fake information, we ask the owner to confirm they are who they say they are.
In most cases, the easiest way to confirm your identity is to follow the on-screen steps to enter your mobile phone number and request a code.
If you can\'t confirm your identity using your mobile number, you\'ll need to provide a copy of your photo ID. This can be a scanned copy or a close-up photo you\'ve taken. Review the types of IDs we accept.
To learn about our policies, please visit the Facebook Community Standards.

social security card....don\'t they claim one should NEVER give a copy of a social security card? this is ridiculous.
