    this is software on my desktop/phone, I'm not sure if this goes here or anywhere

    so I posted a pic on facebook, well within the TOS and i've posted it before

    2 minutes later I get a message telling me my account has suspiecous activity and must confirm my identity, then sent a code to my phone

    the code never came

    I hit resend CODE

    SLOW DOWN YOU ARE MOVING TOO FAST< YOU might get suspended was the message the came next on the FB site.

    what the heck happened?(no code has ever come)

    Yes
    Id show a screen shot if I knew how to insert one


    I did a google search "how to contract facebook support " and told

    While 650-543-4800 is Facebook's best toll-free number, there are 10 total ways to get in touch with them. The next best way to talk to their customer support team, according to other Facebook customers, is by telling GetHuman about your issue above and letting us find somebody to help you


    -so I went to gethuman and paid a $ 1 to have a slow conversation with someone who wanted my phone number, name and access to my computer or $49 to connect me with an expert to show me how to reset my phone
    I kept saying none of these are the issue.

    I think gethuman is a scam...so I left, put in a request with my bank to get my $1back, was sure to cancel any membership and was done with that "solution"...thanks google


    Over the past few days, I've just been stuck in a circle with facebook
    I only log in with my phone or my computer

    so on the main fb.com page, I stroll over to reset password:
    the give options:
    -they'll send a code to my phone
    -send a code to to my email

    the code to the phone takes forever to happen..usually I will get a text,, within 1 minute to a few hours...so I'll choose email

    within a minute, I have a 6 digit code from facebook...type it in the box faceboook gives me, then get told to MAKE A NEW PASSWORD

    -I comply, make a new password and it's all good
    and then I'm in.

    ...oh wait, no I'm not, I get the screen again
    https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint...cookie&next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F
    "Security check
    -To Confirm your Identity, we will text you a confirmation code to your phone/\
    ***-***-****(they have my number)
    I can only hit CONTINE...I cant change to my email or change numbers

    --I'll hit "continue", get the message I gave above..."It looks like you’re using this feature in a way it wasn’t meant to be used. Please slow down, or you could be blocked from using it."

    under the message it says
    "Security Check"
    -We sent a 6-digit code to (***) ***-*****(my number)

    the code may or may not come and
    BUT IF it does come and I use it I get told:
    -"The security code you entered is incorrect or expired. Please try having the code sent to you again."

    but the top right of the screen lets me "log out" and then I log back in via the NEW PASSWORD I made minutes ago and I am back to the "Security check" step


    none of my friends can find me at all on facebook, it is as if my account is gone

    so I went to CONFIRM MY IDENTITY WITH FACEBOOK
    https://m.facebook.com/help/contact/183000765122339

    uploaded my ID
    along with my with email address
    and a different time my phone number
    I get told
    THIS ACCOUNT IS NOT DISABLED

    ok so im at a loss, I dunno what to do...
    any suggestions?

    according to who?
    gooogle tells me that is a scammers number and that facebook has no customer service
    just help communities

    I dont find any help at all as everything I find to get help from facebook requires being signed in

    or did you mean this number
    How can I contact Facebook support?

    Humm....seems to be a scam. I think there is NO number to call and the only help you get is:
    https://www.facebook.com/help/

    "Unfortunately, there is no way to directly contact Facebook – you can't call, text, email, or otherwise speak to an employee or affiliate of Facebook. You can, however, use Facebook's Help Center to diagnose and report a problem with your account."

    yes
    and most of that is useless becase I cannot log back in
    and when i do log in, i am asked to do a secruity check which sends text to my phone which, when I get it(not always) it is invalid

    and my friends cant find me on facebook, so I'm "gone"?

    I wasnt sure how to respond..
    the guy was insigtuating I was doing something wrong and his comment was negative and actustory at me, I was just brushing him off
    I wish I had an answer as to what happened to my FB account...no idea,

    Your not being honest with yourself, if you brush off.

    Go back to the basics and start again, perhaps then you will see the light?

    I dont mean to be cryptic or detrimental but your probably your own worst enemy.

    ??? no
    you are being cryptic
    I cant see anything I am doing wrong,, I get told I need a secruity code, I rarely get it and when I do get it, I am either logged out of facebook or it wont work/expired
    I can change my password because they send that code to my email and it is always sent fast. SO i change my password ,THEN i get the security check again
    Sheesh
    they have a page set up about the errors

    right,,ive been waiting and reading about others having this issue
    that's what Steve Woznia says to do: delete facebook
    https://www.foxnews.com/tech/apple-cofounder-steve-wozniak-leave-facebook


    I dont share anything, I just have a place to keep my nude selfies(no risk) and tons of memes
    and see my sister's kids grow up

    I wanted to get back on FB 10/10 a week ago, now I'm like 7/10,,,,soon it'll go down further...myspace? friendster? instagram? linkedin?
    nah, I'll use my time to hit the gym/cardio.

    if I ever get on, Ill let this thread know
    ;)

    Don't you think this why you are having problems with Facebook?

    PS I do hope your sister's kids don't see what you upload to Facebook.

    they dont know what facebook is, they are too busy being kids
    besides I'm being sarcastic, I am now getting this message when I log in
    Sorry, something went wrong.
    We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.

    Go Back


    Usually i just get the screen to type in the secrutity code, which I dont get.....

    I can change my password, and that text message with the code to change my password comes to my phone fast or my email if I choose that
    just not the text to confirm IDentity or whatever

    I will text 32665 and type OTP
    to get a ONE TIME PASSWORD
    but that never works when I get it?

    The "Sorry something went wrong." Usually means the site crashed. I don't know of anyone having that issue with FB.

    Allow me to suggest that you aren't trying to log into the legit FB site.

    I'm using the app most of the time
    I did use my computer and the FB link when I got that message, but I also changed my password via that link and facebook sends me a email fast/instant and I am able to change my password... log in, only to get the SECRUTIY check point, then request a text to my phone, when it comes I dont get it. OR i text facebook, 32665, get a code and it wont work..phone or computer
    can I write them a letter?

    fishy as fk

    I can reset my password via FB.com link on my coputer
    It will send a code to my email OR phone
    I can use either code to log in enough to change my password

    when I use the new password to log in, I Get the SECURITY CHECK again..and then a code is not forthg coming

    so I'm back on FB 12 days of not being able to log in

    I requested a new password/changed it via email
    (--same as the above post)

    then as soon as I changed it, I had to the SECURITY CONFIRMATION code, which doesnt always come and when it does come
    it is invalid/expired
    I did that, only this time, it worked


    No idea why this happened or why I was able to log on again

    first thing I did was estabish a few "trusted contacts"
