May I have your email address linked to facebook?

Were you the only admin of the page when it was hacked, also do you use facebook business manager as well?
I was an admin in addition to my assistant. Both of us were removed as admin by the hacker. We did use FB business manager, but lost access to that too.
I can do a remote session and try to troubleshoot your facebook?

I received this email this morning:
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us. Based on the information provided, it is unclear whether you're making an intellectual property claim or requesting an admin change for a Page, account or group.

If you’d like to continue with your intellectual property claim, please respond to this message confirming you would like to proceed, and we will continue to look into your report.
If instead your request pertains to a Page or group’s admin status or support for a hacked account, please note that we’re unable to support these types of requests through this channel. The following links may be helpful:

Please make sure to reply to that email saying that you page was hacked and that yo need admin rights back
It seems odd to do that as they specifically say if my page was hacked to use other resources. Are you sure?
Yes because facebook will send this request over to the Pages department that handle Facebook Pages.
Ok I just replied, but my hunch is that they're going to make me use those links, which don't work.
Response from FB...

We are not able to help with account access issues through this channel and will not be able to redirect your claim. Should you wish to file a report related to an account access issue, the following links may be helpful:

THis is the obnly way I know of contacting facebook in which they reply promtly. These other links may work, but facebook takes longer to repsnd to support requests.
Please let me know know if you have heard from facebook such as any emails or notifications as well.
They responded and said I cannot use that form for a hacked account.
I will resubmit to facebook. Sorry for taking so long.
Ok sounds good, let me know what happens. Thanks!
