Facebook account hacked and you are in the US?
Anywhere in the US, recovery happens through Facebook. Federal reports help if money or identity theft is involved.
If your Facebook was hacked in the US, use the security link Facebook emailed to your old address or go to facebook.com/hacked, then complete the ID check if asked. If the hacker scammed friends, ran ads on your card or used your identity, report it to the FBI at ic3.gov and the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
IC3 and FTC
Report scams and identity theft.
Your bank
Dispute ad charges you did not make.
Steps
- Open the "security alert" or "email changed" message Facebook sent to your old address and use the link to secure the account, if it is there.
- Go to facebook.com/hacked on a device and network you have used before and follow the steps.
- If the email and phone were both changed, choose the option that you no longer have access to them and follow the identity check.
- Upload ID if asked. The name must match the profile.
- Once back in, change the password, turn on two-factor authentication, remove unknown devices and check Page and ad account admins.
Where to report it in the US
Report scams sent from the account to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov and the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. If your identity was used, IdentityTheft.gov gives a recovery plan. If ads were charged to your card, call your bank. None of these restore the account, but reference numbers help explain the hack.

What to send
- Your Facebook profile link or the name on the profile.
- A screenshot of the message or error, with the date visible.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
Local questions, answered (2026)
Hacked and now disabled too: what order?
Start at facebook.com/hacked, so the record shows the account was taken, then appeal the disable if a button appears. Secure the email and phone first.
Who do I report it to in the US?
The FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and the FBI’s IC3 at ic3.gov. If the hacker is threatening to share private images, also use NCMEC’s Take It Down (for under-18s) and IC3.
Does a police or fraud report help the appeal?
Meta does not ask for one, but a reference number is useful if money was taken or if you later need to show the account was compromised.
Is there an outside appeal in the US?
There is no outside appeal body for Meta account decisions in the US, so Meta’s own review is the only formal route.

Updated November 2026
For a takeover, start at instagram.com/hacked or facebook.com/hacked from a device you used before. If the hacker changed the email, Meta’s flow lets you choose that you no longer have access and verify another way. After you are back, check Accounts Center for unknown logins and connected accounts, and turn on two-factor authentication. See Facebook hacked and email changed.
The hacker changed my email and phone. Can I still recover it?
Often yes, through the hacked page and identity checks such as a video selfie. Use a device and network you used before.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Meta replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Is there a Facebook phone number I can call?
No. Facebook does not run phone support for hacked personal accounts. Numbers that claim to be Facebook support are often scams.
What if the hacker got the account disabled?
Appeal from the disabled notice and say in one line that the account was hacked and when. Keep it short and accurate.
Does anyone need my password to help?
No. Never share your password or login codes. Anyone who asks for them is a risk.
Do I need to share my Facebook password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about a hacked Facebook account?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
