There is a security flaw in the ability to connect Facebook accounts to unrelated Meta-Oculus accounts that is causing thousands of users to lose access to their accounts, business pages, finance details and more. This has gone ignored and/or unanswered by Meta / Facebook / Oculus for weeks, if not months/years.
This is able to bypass any 2 factor authorization you may have and there is no support in recovering your personal or business account.
The scam is suspected to work as follows (taken from Reddit);
Scammers will hack an account. Then, they will purposely get the account disabled. Before they do, they create and attach a Page/Ads account to the victim's account. Or, they takeover an existing Ads Account. Then they get the main account banned while somehow still being able to operate Ads account. They get the account disabled because it is harder to get the disabled account restored than a hacked account. This is troublesome especially if the victim happened to have a credit/bank card or PayPal on file. The scammers are charging Ads on the victim's credit card.
This is a serious security breach and a major flaw, given the integration of Facebook, payment methods, paypal and multiple other websites. There are multiple help threads about this on meta's own community forums, including a pinned post that basically says yes we are aware of it and too bad, we can't help
Thousands of users are at risk of having their financial details compromised and accounts lost permanently, including those who have photos of deceased loved ones now locked behind banned accounts - with 90 days to appeal until they are lost forever. Yet there is no way to appeal the facebook ban, and Meta is refusing to assist in unbanning or recovering the fraudulent accounts that have caused the connected services ban.
