So I found out from my grandma that my Facebook account got hacked. I haven’t used it in like a decade and don’t care about it, but I also don’t want it being used to potentially scam people.

I told everyone I know who still uses FB to block and report the account. Today I was trying to get the account shut down and it is now locked (says it’s not visible and can’t be used by anyone). Is that enough to prevent it from being used for malicious purposes? My only goal is to keep people like my grandma from getting scammed.

I’m hoping it being locked is enough to solve the problem but wanted some extra feedback from people who maybe know more than me :)

Facebook has no customer support to speak of, the only known way is through their legal department and that requires an attorney or it’s ignored

Haha! Seriously? This works? I mean they will probably just disable your account that’s all, but that’s a neat trick if it works !
