BREAKING: “Facebook Recovery Agents” Exposed as Scammers Targeting Filipino Users
🚨 BREAKING: “Facebook Recovery Agents” Exposed as Scammers Targeting Filipino Users
📢 A New Online Threat Is Spreading
If you’ve seen comments on Facebook saying —
“PM me, I can recover your hacked account,”
you’re not alone.
A wave of so-called “Facebook Recovery Experts” is sweeping through local groups, offering “account recovery help.”
But here’s the truth: it’s all a scam.
🧠 What’s Really Going On
These scammers pretend to be tech specialists or “Meta support staff.”
They look professional — using fake badges, Meta logos, and friendly chat messages.
They promise to restore your hacked Facebook account for a small “service fee.”
Once you trust them, they strike.
They’ll either:
Steal your account credentials, or
Take your money and disappear.
It’s a growing trend targeting Filipinos desperate to get their pages or businesses back.
🕵️♂️ Common Scam Scenarios
1. The “Official-Looking” Meta Agent
They use names like “FB Recovery Team PH” or “Meta Security Support”.
They even show screenshots of “successful recoveries.”
Don’t be fooled — it’s all edited.
2. The Fake Recovery Page
They send links such as:
facebook-verify-login.infofbhelp-recover.com
Once you enter your login details, they have full control of your account — sometimes even your email.
3. The Code Trap
They ask:
“Send me the code that Facebook sent you.”
That code is meant for you only. Once you give it away, you’ve basically handed them the key.
4. The Paid Recovery Offer
They’ll say:
“GCash me ₱500 for verification.”
After payment, you’ll never hear from them again.
Some even block you instantly.
⚠️ The Real Facebook Process
Meta never contacts users through Messenger or comments.
There are no agents or “paid recovery services.”
The only real recovery link is:
👉 https://facebook.com/hacked
Everything else is fake — no matter how convincing it looks.
🛡️ How to Protect Yourself
✅ Do not click links from strangers.
✅ Never share your password or login codes.
✅ Turn on 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).
✅ Report suspicious users or pages to Facebook.
✅ Educate your friends and family — scammers often target older or less techy users.
💬 Real Talk
“If someone claims they can recover your Facebook — and they ask for your code or payment — they’re not helping you. They’re hacking you.”
Even if their profile looks legit, always double-check.
Scammers now use AI-generated photos, fake testimonials, and cloned Facebook pages to look real.
