Reported, thank you.
I’ve probably reported these idiots a dozen times in the past few weeks. They just keep popping back up.
They’re stubborn little scammers!
If I flood their toll-free numbers, they shut them down for a while.
I googled a Facebook customer service number to speak to a live representative. I clicked on a website with the number 888 276 0229 and called it. A man with a foreign accent (possibly Indian) answered and said he was the head of the Facebook security team. I told him I was calling about a post I reported and if he could take it down or disabled the account of the person. He asked me for my name and that he’d look at my account. When I gave him that information, he said my account was compromised and that there is a bug on my computer stealing my info and a pending charge of a couple thousand dollars to my bank account. He told me to download the QuickSupport TeamViewer app so he can view my phone and take me through the steps how to get rid of the hacker. He told me to get on a pen and paper and write down his name, employee ID and a number to reach back in case we disconnect. He said his name was Ryan McCal, employee ID amz786 and to call 669 777 9148. He told me to log into my bank account so he can stop the transaction. He had me add a person named Marco Richardson to Zelle with a phone number of 410 458 7907 (originally I typed 7909 and it didn’t work until he said the it was 7907). He told me to add a memo saying “cancel this transaction” and put $370.18. I started realizing that he was trying to get me to send the money to him, and it was a scam, not a cancellation, so I exited out of the app and hung up the phone. I quickly changed my bank password, then went to my bank and closed my account. The bank said they saw no pending charges transactions with him. The next day, I went back to the website which I saved to my favorites and it was gone. It said “404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server.” This was the website link: https://facebook-help-supportandpcenter.business.site/?m=true&url=https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2950932165205988/?creative=624369445107
