After posting the information contained in Part 1, I received the following advice in an email message from someone I don’t know: “Reach out to Facebook.sec@mail.com”

I sent the message string from Part 1 to the address above. Follows is the message string that resulted.

OK kindly send the necessary information linked to the account 

Username /email address linked to the account and also the URL link of the affected profile 

I responded with the following:

It doesn’t look like you have read my initial email. My account was linked to the email I’ve been communicating to you with. Because Facebook canceled me I cannot logon and get the URL link for the profile. I’m beginning to think Facebook doesn’t take security seriously.

Okay you will have to purchase an access account ownership pass for $200 which is fully refundable after you have gotten access to your account…

I responded with the following:

You’ve got to be kidding me. I have given you the email address associated with my account. Your technicians shouldn’t need anything else. I’m not going to give Facebook a nickel because of their incompetence.

It’s refundable after your access 

Sent using the mail.com mail app

I responded with the following:

I do not trust Facebook to do that after the treatment they have given me. This security problem is of their own creation, probably through incompetence. My money isn’t needed to unlock my account and I have doubts that unlocking it is even necessary.

Facebook appears to have a security problem – Part 1

I received an email from a friend earlier this month that included a conversation I supposedly had with this friend over Facebook (included below). The friend, whose name I replaced with XXX for privacy, thought the exchange was odd, especially since the friend knew Facebook had canceled me in October. I don’t know exactly why—they never tell you—but suspect it was because I posted something positive about Carlisle Indian School just hours before the cancellation. I formatted the conversation to make it easier for a reader to follow. Facebook identified my supposed part of the conversation under “Tom Benjey” and my friend’s supposed part under “You said.” None of what was said makes any sense to either of us. The friend suspects that the conversation was intended for another person having the same name. To the best of my knowledge, I’m the only person with my name. There are few Benjeys in the country.

After being informed of this conversation, I attempted to sign onto Facebook and was blocked. I am still canceled. So, some hacker must have figured out how to get into a canceled account somehow. Who knows what mischief the hacker is doing?
