my FB has been hacked

Someone has hacked into my Facebook account which I cannot access. The same person is impersonating me claiming that I'm in London and have been mugged and asking my friends to wire $ to London. I'm home in Brooklyn trying to reclaim my Facebook account and changing passwords at numerous websites.

They hit me up on FB using your account.

I thought they'd hacked your twitter account too, but I think it was just Twitter temporarily acting badly due to Michael-Jackson-overload.

I hope Facebook is able to trace their ISP and do something about it.

I hope so too. They have yet to reply to my correspondence; I hope they do so tomorrow if not sooner.

Gah! That really sucks. :( I hope no more damage is done before you can re-establish control!

Sucky. Good luck ironing everything out.

He didn't get into my LJ so if we're not friends on FB he would not have contacted you.

That is awful! Hopefully anyone they've contacted would call you or something before sending money. Yikes!

Unfortunately one FB friend did send the impostor $300. I feel awful about that.

Oh no! That's terrible.

It's not your fault though.

Hey, David! I'm really sorry about this. I hope you get your account back.

This person contacted me this morning by FB chat--I was really suspicious since I doubted you would have gone to London without telling anyone in advance. So I started asking personal questions that wouldn't be on your profile info. They refused to answer and just kept asking me for money.

I sent you the message on LJ, but I wasn't sure if they had gotten into LJ too, so I didn't want to say too much.

I hope this issue is resolved soon. Good luck!

I've regained control of my FB account. I hope the crook is apprehended soon.

I hope so too!

how screwed up is that? Keep to changing the passwords and be as thorough as you can.
