Question posted by judithahill on April 3rd, 2011

My Facebook Account Was Phished And The Email Address Changed.

The account appears to be disabled and I have tried every way I can see on facebook to get someone to reinstate the account to me.  I keep getting that my email account is not associated with the facebook account (appears to be a standard reply so not sure anyone has even read my request).  I have sent the url - it's been over a week and my facebook account appears to be open for all to see.  The least they could do is take my pictures, friends and personal info off their site if they won't give me the account back.  What can I do?
