Facebook Page Got Hacked

If you have a facebook page, you can be a victim of this scam.

Someone has chatted on my page with P24K likes. He offered me to post articles of Buzzfeed on my page which I will received payment for every post. He is pretending to be the social media manager of Buzzfeed. He got my email address to send the invitation link which will be directed to Facebook Business Manager. The page must be added and approved first before you can post articles and start earning. But that's not what happened. After I added my page, the page is not visible anymore and cannot be accessed.

I checked my facebook account and I was surprised that my pages are now not included in my account. The pages "Simpleng Manunulat" with 2600+ likes and "Hahaha parang adik lang lol" with 24K are still existing but they removed me as the admin which means that I can no longer access these pages unless that scammer will add me again as an admin. I guess so. 

Lessons learned:

1. Always check the e-mail address.  The one they used seems legit but it is not.

(notifications@facebookmail.com).

Hindi ko na nacheck. Mukhang legit kasi. Saka pamilyar ako sa facebook business manager. Search niyo sa google.

2. Do not believe the informations indicated in any facebook profile. His account seems legit because all buzzfeed social media accounts are indicated. He put there that he is the social media manager of buzzfeed. After I have learned that my pages were hacked, the personal facebook profile of that guy was also gone.

3. Don't let yourself to fall in this scam. Hirap kasi mag-english. Nabigla ako hahaha. Tamo, mali-mali hahaha. 

What to do?

1. Change the passwords of your facebook and yahoo mail immediately.

2. Report to facebook and buzzfeed this kind of scam to spread awareness.

*Buzzfeed replied that the message soliciting partnertship via a facebook seems to be spam. They would not solicit via facebook massage and they don't have a program like this. The person is not also associated with them. *

3. I deleted that pages in the facebook business manager. In the business settings, under the section "my info", you can see at the right corner of your email address the "leave" option.  I also deleted my account as a whole.

I have no idea with their scam. Are they going to use my page for their business? I don't know.

One thing is for sure, they can't be happy with my pages. 

"Hahaha parang adik lol" is existing but I'm not using this for a long time. The reason why the engagement is low. I'm about to delete this page a long time ago but I didn't. Wala siyang purpose talaga kaso sayang din e. 

"Simpleng Manunulat" has also low engagement. I'm just using this page to share all my rants, ideas, problems, views and everything which comes in my mind. It's like a diary. Iyong gusto mong magrant kaso di ka mkapagrant sa sariling facebook account kasi mababasa ng mga taong pinatatamaan mo haha. Kaya gumawa na lang ako ng page. Charot.
