I've had an exciting evening. I've been cleaning out my attic and recently posted a couple of hockey bags for sale on some local sales sites via facebook. I've been corresponding with a couple of buyers via messenger. I have one bag sold with a pickup tomorrow and was in the middle of getting the other sale set up when this happened.
Wait... what??? My account is temporarily locked?? Ok. I guess I'll do the security check to secure my account...
I had to complete the security challenge, which is REALLY hard to read, and then identify a few friends photos... no problem.
I then had to create a new password... I can do that too.
Yes!!! I'm all set and ready to return to facebook.
What the.... Ok, I'll just click on my desktop icon and.....
$%&*!!!!!
I've now completed the same task about eight times now. I've identified friend's photos, correctly stated my first grade teacher's last name, had a verification text sent to me via my cell phone. Everything. I cannot unlock my account. I can't access it via my phone or ipad either. It just keeps going in an endless loop. If I ever do connect again, I'll never remember my password because I'VE CHANGED IT EIGHT TIMES!!!
Here's the worst part. There's no way to contact Facebook. It's showing I have an active account and it's telling me that I have to log in to make a complaint or request help which I cannot do. There's also no way to e-mail them. I even found a phone number for facebook that is specifically set up so when you call them they say YOU CANNOT CONTACT FACEBOOK OVER THE PHONE!!! Who does that???? I have some select words for Mark Zuckerberg right now.
I just wanted to declutter my attic and sell some hockey bags... apparently that's asking too much. *sigh*
