Scams cost Americans roughly $50 billion each year, and according to the Better Business Bureau, they affect one in four homes. The most frequently reported scams are delivered by phone. But more than half of victims say they were contacted online through websites, e-mail, social media and more.

Jan 14, 2019 - Security and hacking issues are rampant in social media. A pre-selected Facebook friend receive the authentication code on your behalf.

Experts say more and more people, including millennials, are becoming victims on Facebook. So what happens when a person you think is a Facebook 'friend' turns out to be someone else?

For Shellie Drummond, it started when she found the Facebook profile for a friend from years back, named Deborah Boyd.

'I was on Messenger and my friend's name came up,' she told CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.

Soon 'Boyd' was telling her about a so-called government grant she'd gotten through an agent on Facebook. Sure enough, the agent then told Drummond she could get financial assistance from the government. All she had to do was provide some personal information, then send $1,500 in fees, to get up to $100,000 in grant money.

'The person that I was corresponding with that I thought was my friend had vouched for this foundation, and I believed her,' said Drummond.

So she wired the $1,500 to Florida, then waited for the delivery driver (like the one shown on Facebook) to deliver her $100,000 in cash.

But they never came.

And when Drummond tracked down her friend by phone, Deborah Boyd told her, 'It wasn't me. You got scammed.'

Turns out, Boyd's Facebook account had been hacked by scammers who locked her out, then quickly reached out to try to con her family and friends, who she then had to warn: 'Please do not send them anything, and delete yourself off that page. Because it's not me.'

'They're basically capturing that trust you have in this person and using it for their own gain,' said Emma Fletcher of the Better Business Bureau.

So we wondered: were the scammers still active?

To find out, 'CBS This Morning' set up our own fake account on Facebook, and contacted Boyd's imposter. Sure enough, she claimed she got a $50,000 grant and said we could get one, too: it wasn't a loan, and we wouldn't have to pay it back.

'She's not wasting any time,' Fletcher said.

Werner showed Fletcher the conversation that progressed. 'Is that typical of what you see happening?' Werner asked.

'Well, once you show an interest, you know, they're going to go in for the kill,' Fletcher replied.

And it wasn't just the fake Deborah Boyd account: we found what appears to be a network of fake Facebook profiles offering grants, from $50,000 to $1,000,000 -- all while assuring us it wasn't a scam. 'Swear to God,' one said.

But those photos of the 'agents'? A quick search using Google Images turned up the truth: the photos are real, but those people don't offer grants. One is a real estate agent from Vermont. The other? A professor at MIT.

So if those aren't the real people, who's really running those Facebook accounts?

Computer expert Gary Miliefsky set up a way to track the scammers' location: he built a page that looks like a money transfer company's website, but really finds a computer's unique IP location.

'This website is an IP tracker,' Miliefsky said. 'So when they click the link thinking they're going to a popular money transfer site, they are allowing us to track them.'

We got the scammers to click on it, and lo and behold … the scammers are in Lagos, Nigeria.

'Russians use malware, the Chinese use malware. The Nigerians, they use social engineering and they use social media,' said Miliefsky.

But if we were able to track them, what about Facebook?

The company told us it has 'a dedicated team … helping to detect and block these kinds of scams,' and has 'developed several techniques' to stop the abuse. But Boyd told us Facebook still hasn't solved her problem, and the scammers still have a fake profile up with her name.

'These people should not still be contacting my friends and family,' Boyd said. 'No way should they be. This is, what, six months later, nine months later? Come on!'

After Werner reached out to Facebook, it asked us for the URLs for the scam accounts, which we provided. Within hours, it appeared Facebook had blocked those accounts.

But Deborah Boyd says she has never been able to get back into her old profile, which has a lot of family photos and memories that she'd like to have back.

By the way, the people we mentioned whose photos were used? One declined to comment, but the other expressed shock when we told her. She had no idea her photo had been taken off her own website and used by fraudsters for a scam.

Unfortunately with the popularity of Facebook comes the popularity and frequency of Facebook accounts getting hacked or stolen.

I need to be clear from the start: I can’t guarantee you’ll get it back. Much depends on whether or not you set up recovery options before you lost it, and whether or not you kept those options up-to-date.

Let’s walk through the process.

Recovery

Underneath the password field of the Facebook login is a link:

It may say “Can’t log in”, “Forgot your password?” or something similar. Click that.

You may then be asked to “Find Your Account”: The flash s05e17 subtitles movie.

The best thing to enter here is the email address that you normally use to log in. If, for some reason, that doesn’t locate your account, the hacker

'>hacker may have deleted the account or changed the email addresses associated with it. Try entering the phone number you previously associated with the account, or your full name as you previously entered into your Facebook profile.

Assuming you can identify your account successfully, you’ll then be asked why you can’t login:

Since we’re talking about hacked accounts, select that and click on Continue.

The first option presented is simply a password reset link:

As you can see, that’s the only option I have available with this account at this time. So I’ll click Continue. (If you have additional email accounts associated with your Facebook account, the password reset link will be sent to all of them. If you have a mobile number associated with your account you may be given the option to use a text message instead. In both of these cases the additional account or mobile number must be set up before you need it, while you have access to your account.)

Facebook then presents this page:

and also sends a message to the listed email address:

After entering the code Facebook presents the option to select a new password:

Enter the new password twice and click Continue.

You now have control of your account once again.

Secure

Since your account was hacked, Facebook will now take you through some extra steps to secure the account from future threats.

Do not skip this step! This will look at the common changes hackers make, help you recover, and help you prevent this from happening again.

First, Facebook will verify the email address(es) associated with your account:

Make sure to check the email address(es) that are correct and to which you have access. Leave the others unchecked, and click Continue.

Facebook then reviews your email account password status:

This is not your Facebook password. This message is asking if you are certain that you are the only person who knows the password to your email account. Anyone who can access your email by virtue of knowing your email account password can, in turn, access your Facebook account.

Once you are certain that your email account is secure, check the box and click Continue. If you are not certain, open another browser window and go change the password to your email account, and take whatever other steps are necessary to secure it first.

Facebook makes a couple of additional recommendations:

Login approvals use techniques such as SMS [Short Message Service]

'>SMS messages and automated voice to give you a confirmation code prior to letting you log in. You can bypass this on computers into which you log in frequently. A potential hacker would be unable to log in because they would not have the phone associated with your number.

A verified mobile number is a way to reset your password and recover the account should you lose access to your email account.

And finally Facebook suggests you review your recent activity to undo anything that the hacker might have done while having control of your account:

Naturally I recommend you take a few minutes and do this now as well.

But what if…

The scenario above represents the best case scenario: you still have access to the email account associated with your Facebook account.

But what if you don’t?

The sad truth is you may never get your Facebook account back.

• If you no longer have access to the email account associated with your Facebook account
• and you never set up additional email accounts associated with your Facebook account
• and you never set up a mobile phone associated with your Facebook account
• and you never set up Facebook’s “Trusted Contacts” to help should your account be lost
• AND your account is hacked or you lose your password…
• THEN you cannot prove to Facebook that you have any right to access that account.

Facebook will not give it back to you, simply because they have no way to know that you’re not just another hacker trying to steal the account.

As you proceed through the recovery process, make sure to read all instructions that Facebook gives you completely. On several of the items there’s a “I don’t have access to this any more” link that may take you to additional options that perhaps you can use. If you can’t, however, you may be out of luck.
