Scottjua's stuff: HELP NEEDED... all Meta accounts GONE

I can laugh at the screen grab they chose at least. Lol
Hopefully, this gets resolved soon. Sorry this is happening to you.
Nothing so far. Just did more research and found this has happened to loads of people.
The same variations of usernames replaced theirs too. Haozhiplus has replaced my username log in… phone number changed, and now not associated with the accounts, and my emails not attached anymore.
Best I can tell it was one of my Instagram accounts that got hacked and then, the other, and my facebooks (personal, and two business ones that I’ve had since the beginning of facebook) got disabled because they’re associated. All my meta accounts were linked through the same email. So that nuked them all.
Unbelievable.
At first I thought it was a blaster or prop thing, but it’s certainly hacked and they did something, I’ll never know that got it banned, while they took over.
I just hope a human with common sense can review it and see… I’ve had zero complaints or issues for the entire time facebook has existed… and a pattern of behavior should be all that tells I didn’t DO anything.
But I’ve been reading scores of other people’s horror stories about never getting a resolution, and never being able to get back on.
Meta has zero way to talk to a human. Awful.
I can no longer see my deceased mother’s pictures or posts, no family stuff… no friends, clients… prop and photography… all gone with no way to get it back. Really crazy.
So I urge everyone who DOES use meta social stuff, un-link your accounts with different emails per platform. And MAKE sure your passwords are strong and not re-used. I think that could have contributed to my downfall… I had weak passwords from decades ago, that turned out to be compromised in leaks, and I never fixed it. Who knows for sure.
How are they not sorting this shambles out
I’m sorry to hear about this Scott, I hope FB/IG will be able to sort this all out and get your accounts back.
The same thing happened to my wife. Her FB was hijacked and turned into a catfish profile with all her photos and posts deleted/changed into a new person. She was tipped off when FB alerted her that her IG was suspended for being associated with a scammer FB profile, she was able to login and change the password on her IG in time to save it but her FB is gone forever. No way to contact FB for help, they kept saying to report her account as hijacked but because it was banned it was removed so reporting it was impossible.
She made a new FB but she had her old one since 2008 so all her photos, memories, posts- everything is gone forever. FB was ZERO help.

I'm very sorry to see this happening to you, Scott. 
Many years ago, some Russian hackers attacked thousands of FB accounts, mostly from Eastern Europe. I had a strong password and FB noticed me about the attempt. Even so, after that I decided to delete all my important images and details from FB, changed my user, which is not my name anymore, but initials, installed FB Purity, and my account now has only a couple photos and nothing posted on my wall, as I don't allow it. But this solution doesn't work for people who have FB business, and have a living off FB. FB is getting out of hand these days, their idiotic AI delete accounts without any reason, you have no way to contact a living person directly. I wish you good luck in recovering everything you lost there Scott

I've also just been banned from Facebook, telling me I've done something "naughty" and been given 180 days to appeal. My account name is the same, no mention of this Haozhiplus thing so that may be a separate issue.
The account won't do anything or show me anything except a screen asking me to film a video of myself as to start off their appeals process. Given the current climate, as well as Zuck's recent actions, and putting Dustin Carmack in charge of his moderation policies, no thanks. I'm lucky I don't depend on Facebook for any business stuff or for any contacts, I can just tell my friends my account is effectively gone. And going by the video posted above I doubt it's worth trying to get back on again by creating another account.
If AI is responsible for this s show then it just further shows it should be a long way before it should be implemented into any company to make business decisions, not only for ethical issues relating to the public, but practical ones as well. Stuff like this could potentially ruin a company. Maybe it'll be what ruins Facebook?

No it’s just my phone… it’s about a year now maybe?
But I noticed it doing some funky focus thing… might be because it was so low light when I made the video. Overcast and rainy
Video looks super clear and sharp
This arrived today. Can’t say enough good things about it. Fantastic work
Sorry to hear this dude. Happened to me a few years ago on Instagram. My original page gone over night and close to 10k followers simply vanished. Next was my Etsy store and over 150 5 star reviews. All that time and all that work simply gone without explanation. I as well had open interest that I could never follow up on. Extremely frustrating and exhausting. Apparently fictional blasters are indeed dangerous weapons.
Highly doubt you will get anything but more frustration trying to get an answer from Meta (I never got anything but a copy and paste replay) but honestly I do wish ya the best.
Ur work is solid and people will always find ya.
