Scam Description
I commented on a post on my friends FaceBook page asking if anyone needed help with a bill. I said I needed $200. I got an inbox through messager telling me to buy bitcoin through Cash app. First they asked me to buy $20 then they asked me for an additional $32 dollars. I told them that was all I had. After that they asked me for $70 then $100. I didn’t give them the $70 or the $100, but they got a picture of my ID. They also asked me for my Facebook information. Now they are holding my Facebook page hostage. I’ll chalk the $52 dollars up to me being sick and dumb at the moment, but I’d like my Facebook page back. They said I have to give them $100 dollars to get it back. They changed their email and phone number to the authentication process and I can’t access or change my password. They have a picture of my drivers license so I keep sending Facebook my passport with no avail. I’ve been home sick. Now I can’t use my Facebook. I feel silly. Awful scam and timing.
