My Facebook was hacked, and the email address was changed to s*****************@hotmail.com and my original two email addresses were deleted from the Profil. How can you help me to log in again, or find out the email address that’s being used for MY Facebook account, so that I can gain it back or take legal actions against the hacker???

Hi, so getting my account back wasn’t that easy. I had to send in my ID twice, to verify it’s me. Trying to log in from a browser that I had precise used helped. While it took some time for them to actually send me a verification code, the hacker put down a second email address. I was able to remove them once I got access again.

I went to the forgot my password page when logging in and clicked no longer have access to these, then I was asked for my ID & I believe to describe the reason for verification. It took like 4 or 5 days to get back into it the account and set up two factor verification, but the sending in my ID & proving it’s me was the way to go, as there’s no direct way of contacting Facebook with this issue.

    Hey Marko,

    My phone number isn't working,
    Email has been changed – not mine, to some hotmail.com....
    The only way i can find the account back is with my name at the identify page Facebook is giving me in their help center.

    So i cant reset the password anywhere or anything.
    I have never gotten an email that told me something was changed on my account., i just got logged off...

    I have no clue what the email is that is connected to the account.

    At this moment it looks like i'm someone that is trying to get onto someone else's account, depresses me because it is mine and i haven't done anything wrong.
    I did get contacted by some to retrieve my account for payment, but i do not agree with this, there is a huge chance i will get scammed and, feels very wrong that i have to pay for retrieving my FREE Facebook account.

    Would be the best job in the world, hack a Facebook account and then contact them for payment to help them hack their accounts back.
    I just want it over with, i'm tired, depressed, and the feeling hurts not being able to do anything.
    It's a disgrace Facebook is not doing anything to its user base.

    Thanks
    best regards...

    It took me 4 days to get back into my account. The hacker had added two email addresses that I have now successfully deleted. Dear Microsoft, please acknowledge that these two email addresses were used to hack my Facebook account.

    Thanks

    Julia

    Can you please let me know how you removed that emails?

    How did you get your account back? My friend had their account hacked and disabled. he tries to login and it says that there is no profile linked to his email. He tried with his phone number and it says the same thing. When i go to messanger conversation it has no profile picture says kylie Jenner and i click view profile says not available.
