Rakshya
Unfortunately, you cannot select trusted friends without account login (http://www.tothepc.com/archives/facebook-trusted-contacts/). Only available options are email recovery or mobile phone recovery methods or try contact facebook team by email info@facebook.com

I don’t understand what it is I can do here. First I noticed my hotmail was hacked, so I quickly went onto my facebook to change the email address (that was just hacked) to a new one, unfortunately i didn’t get to change it in time and it is now hacked. I notice that my security questions for both accounts are not in Arabic letters. GREAT. I’m an idiot because i have been getting spam messages on my facebook for the past few days before it was hacked, i didn’t think it would have come to this. but anyhow, is there just like literally nothing i can do about this? Like i just have to give up my hotmail and facebook accounts to these stupid hackers? Help me please.

My daughters friend hacked into my daughters facebook account and changed the email address and the password. Worse she left my daughter’s picture up. My daughter has repeatedly fought with facebook to try and get control of her account back. She has explained that yes that is her picture but no she no longer has control of the account. Worse of all she has sonogram pictures of her son on there that can never be replaced. Facebook refuses to help. After reading everyone’s problems with facebook it is long past time that we all took this to the world news and totally disgrace facebook.
sir, just ask all of them who are on friend list of your daughters profile to report that hacked profile as some spam and is being used by others.. facebook wil surely help you people.. hope it wil work for u..

My fb id has been hacked and email id has changed…please help me to recover my fb account…Thank you
Facebook account is hacked and FB help centre is doing nothing :(
My mate has had his password/email changed and can’t get in. They could be spamming weird stuff everywhere! The above ‘Click here’ link leads to a dead Facebook page! Facebook customer service help is a non existent disgrace! I think you have to type in “hack” on the Help page’s ‘search the help centre’ bar; then click on “my account’s been hacked”; then click on “secure my account”.
But I don’t know what happens after that because my account is ok.
If you click on “secure my account” report back and tell everyone what happens! I think they make you download a trial version of McAfee and scan your PC for viruses i.e. Corruptly try to drum up money for McAfee.
P.S.Facebook have banned me from uploading stuff now due to BS music copyright on my vids

I havn’t been able to log into my account for almost two weeks now, i have tried to contact fb but it doesn’t work, all that it says is that the phone number i entered is not associated with any account. The night before this happened i received a notification from fb to change my password and so i did as it was a hazard to leave it as it was. Now i havn’t had any help from fb that is useful!
Hey Skyi,
Exactly the same story with me, what are we going to do. I really give up.
If you find a solution please let me know.
Thanks Thys
Well, I found something quite interesting here. I changed the passwords right after reading the article. I think you should also look into this and get cautious about your personal security and information.
hacked-email.com/most-common-cases-for-your-account-being-hacked/
My Facebook & Gmail were both hacked. Regained access to the Gmail account (which is idol anyways as I only use it for social networking), but not Facebook. I reported it within 5 minutes of it being hacked, and Facebook has done NOTHING to help me! And yes, I have jumped through all of their hoops. I e-mailed them all the info they requested from the account I created my Facebook with, and they tell me they can’t help me because my email isn’t associated with any account. NO SH*T!!! The hacker changed it! So I do everything they say, reply from the real e-mail I created the account with, and still no help I’m so livid that someone is currently pretending to be me & using facebook IM to chat w/ my friends & hack their accounts as well…and Facebook has done nothing to help, NOTHING!!! So to all those who have been hacked, here is the email you can expect from Facebook. Basically telling you that the hackers have the right of way & to go kick rocks….

Hey Theresa,
Are the Facebook Team a bunch of Morons or what….?
as i’ll try to log in.. at facebook , it’s just directly appear that i’ve change ,my password thursday ay 9:41 pm, as i recall that time , i’m on my way home riding a bus, i’m wander how it happens… as i check also my gmail account…just the same…i can’t access my account.. i think FB is Crap too!!! 24hrs, passes by.. nothing sent me updates to my mobile phone…
this works..i recovered my friends fb using these instructions..as long as you have your email account thats connected to fb active you can still save your fb..just make sure you change your email password as soon as possible…(^___^)
yeah this is bullshit because i had a perfect account and some f**ker comes in and hacks my account and changes the login email and password. the only thing facebook did was disable my account. and f**k, if this hacker goes thru my security check thingy the facebook opens back up. facebook sucks a*s. and if never had an account, never get one.
end of story.
my face book & email account both seem have been hacked/compromised. I try to login on my email & Fb but every time it intimates that my password is wrong. What shoul I do.
My e-mail and facebook accounts were compromised last night. E-mail seems to be reclaimed, but my facebook account is using an unknown e-mail address, so I can’t login using my e-mail address (not recognized by FB).
I haven’t seen this on the internet, but through a friend, used my profile ID# to attempt to re-login. I indicated my account was hacked and can’t trust my e-mail account. After giving them an e-mail I can trust, I received an e-mail with instructions for two options to reclaim my account; 1 – use 3 of my friends to validate who I am or 2 – go thru FB customer service and several days to prove who I am. I chose #1 and selected 3 FB friends who received an e-mail from FB, with instructions that if I am legit, to click on a link which shows a unique code they need to relay back to me. I then input the 3 codes and received another e-mail stating to wait 24 hours and then click on a new link to establish my e-mail account with my FB account. We’ll see what happens, but better than what I’ve tried before.
Anyone tried this? If so, was it successful?
If you get anywhere please let me know. I cant get in my account either! It really sucks. 3 years worth of friends, family associates and many pictures and action items pending! Really bad!!
I have the same problem Nick. Did FB helped you ? Does this work ?
Thanks for replying
How do you recover your facebook using friends?! i need help my facebook and email have been hacked the only thing to do is recover it through friends but i dont know how!
Facebook is full of crap these days. My account has been hacked for about three weeks now. The hacker has changed all the log-in info including the default email address in my account. He/She chats to my friends about some inappropriate things. I have been inform by many friends about nasty inbox messages.
I am a working professional. This issue has caused some unexpected embarrassment to me. I have been writing to FB like million times with all the info needed: log-in ID, password, last time FB when I could access My FB with my log-in info. Including the options to fax/mail my legal identity, asking to to help me get my FB back or help me completely close my account. They don’t give a crap. They send out one generic mail to every complain I file saying, “write back if you did not receive any email notifying about the default email address change in your account”. And, when you write back, they do not respond.
I am getting tired of fighting over this. So now, I am just sitting back an enjoying the show with frustration. I had a complete private profile setting. Most ppl under limited profile, and a strong password. I have no clue how it got hacked.
So yeah, bottom line is , be safe, you never know who is going to get into your account. Based on my online research, there are plenty of ppl with similar problem and FB hasn’t given a crap about them. I was loving FB, in terms of staying in touch with family and friends and getting in-touch with long lost friends. But, privacy wise FB sucks. Now, I have decided not to open another account.
It’s sad that FB does nothing to resolve such problems after being report many times.
I totally agree with you and I cant even log in to contact facebook help.
Sometimes my email account login id of f/b changes to gmail.
From my neighbours house it works from her ip address.
Definately I have been hacked and dont know how to inform and warn my friends before they click on any link thinking its me.
Have you been able to unhack yourself?
Even tried the incognito window where I manage to log in but it will not let me log in if I tick keep me logged in and I cannot comment or do anything else except see the first page and cant go to older posts either.I have internet explorer 8 which I have just downloaded as I thought firefox was having problems so I removed it.
If you find any solutions do let me know.Thanks.
SAME PROB WID ME
How long did it take to resolve? It’s been 5 days and nothing so far. Did you submit multiple reports to FB, or just the one? Thanks!
Im really sorryy i feel bad for uu maybe u could create another account try a really really hard password which only would cross ur mind and P.s these hackers have noo Lives i swear :*(
Yeah..totally agree…unbievable!did everything trying to stop the reset passwords or regain acces.Nothing helps..and worst of all,impossible to contact FB support or whatever.
