I'm officially filing with the FBI and their Internet Crime division. The California Attorney General suggested I file an official complaint as they do not represent individuals and apparently will not hold accountable the company that resides within their own state. Although I have no idea if this will work, I can try my best to be hopeful. This scam that is happening right now is impacting some very large creators on Facebook and none of us are able to get the help we need. Some of us are losing our livelihoods, some of us are losing massive payouts, and some of us are losing our largest following and audience. This is a very real threat to creators and it needs to be investigated to the fullest extent. This hacker who is running this scheme is stealing thousands of dollars from all over the world, including from American citizens. This threat to our data, privacy and safety should be taken very seriously. I will be on the lookout for any correspondence to see if I can help secure my own account and those I know of that have also been impacted by this scam.
For anyone who has had their account stolen, hacked or scammed online please be sure to file with the IC3 through their government website. I'm not sure how much they can help but I hope something can be done.
