This is EXACTLY what happened to a friend of mine last Fall. I'm sure he's already done this, but it's best to get Zynga involved in this one. Facebook is retarded about these issues. How is reporting your own account hacked a grounds for disabling you? Makes no sense, but that's what they do.
ReplyDelete~M, the queen of account reinstatments, heh
Furthermore, I'll say this -- it's good to get Zynga involved in ANY account disabling by Facebook. When my account was disabled, getting Zynga involved proved to make the biggest difference. It's one really GREAT thing about Zynga.

[MIG] ʐ♠ɱbṓɳỉ here - thanks very much for bringing this up, Jennifer. Unfortunately I'm just one of dozens that have been hacked recently. Why Facebook penalizes the victim for being hacked is a real headscratcher but hopefully with enough voices we'll get our accounts back quickly. Please join my group as well as other honest players who have been hacked and Ice the Ads until we get our accounts back.
ReplyDeleteThank you
