lsjfdon Ask HN: How can a non-techie mom regain access to her FB account?

I will just add that my FB account was suspended on 13th Dec and on 15th Dec I saw £200 'pending' out of my bank account with the "FACEBK" ref thing which I reported it to my bank straight away that night. Sadly on the morning of 16th Dec it went out of my account, but my bank sorted it for me very swiftly later that day.

I really don't know, but it was definitely on FB. The transaction on my bank statement was "FACEBK" followed by a reference with numbers and letters.

I did search for what it might be and it seemed from other people's experiences it might be some kind of FB advertising? Certainly nothing to do with me! I was really upset and so relieved that my bank helped me sort it out.

I don't have an Android device at all.

Thank you. I know, I am confused (and VERY concerned!) by the fact I had 2FA and they managed to get into my account and somehow stole money out of my bank account! It's made me very suspicious now of so much!

Sometimes the "download your information" option is there, but when I click on it just says an error.

My Dad recommended I use HN (he uses it) so I created an account at the end of last week. And then I created a post today after working out what to say!

I opened FB and it said my account was suspended for violating community guidelines, and was given the option to "Disagree".

I disagreed and was prompted to upload a photo of my ID, which I did.

That was all on Mon 13th Dec. Since then whenever I log into my FB account, it says:

"...you disagreed with the decision ON 13 DECEMBER 2021 It usually takes us just over a day to review your information. Your account is not visible to people on Facebook and you can't use it."

And whenever I log out of my FB account, it says:

"This account will be disabled in X days Are you sure that you want to log out? You only have X days left to request a review. After that, your account will be permanently disabled."

Even though I've already disagreed with the decision and asked for a review. There's no other option for me to choose another review.
