Facebook Troubles

Yeah if they mention it, you've had it elswhere (it can grab it from the phone app I think? I also stopped using that because it scraped my fucking address contacts and started recommending I add workmates who know NOTHING about my FB)

I saw some weird thing recently where some guy I barely know but am FB friends with got hacked. The hacker took over his account but created a new name and added a few new pictures to go with the new identity but is still friends with all the original guy’s friends. Not sure what the point of all this is, but it’s a bit creepy.

Happened to my uncle. The endgame is trying to scam money out of you on Facebook messenger.

Oh wait I misunderstood you. Never mind. In my case it was a cloned profile with a subtly different (no middle initial) name!

Seems like this scenario would only be used to keep tabs on the inherited friends.
