Hopefully she sues the bastards back to the stone age. This, though, is why so many today are terrified of the police.

My Facebook account was hacked

My Facebook account was hacked

My FB account was hacked, and then deleted by Facebook. I have lost all access to my friends and groups and there appears to be no way to recover the account.
