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 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.

Please understand that if you continue with your intellectual property claim, the reported content may be removed from Facebook. 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:

-Hacked or disputed Page: https://www.facebook.com/help/ ***-***-**** 56925/?ref=CR

-Hacked account: https://www.facebook.com/help/ ***-***-**** 398524/?ref=CR

Please make sure to reply to that email saying that you page was hacked and that yo need admin rights back

Posted
Customer

It seems odd to do that as they specifically say if my page was hacked to use other resources. Are you sure?

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Yes because facebook will send this request over to the Pages department that handle Facebook Pages.

Posted
Customer

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...

 

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us. Please note that this channel is only for reporting infringement of your intellectual property rights, which could result in removal of the reported content. Instead, it looks like you are requesting help regarding a Page or group’s admin status, or support for a hacked account.

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:

-Page Admin Access Issues (e.g., hacked page, admin change): https://www.facebook.com/help/ ***-***-**** 56925/?ref=CR
