No way to send any feedback. The "clever" way my "friends" email is not a link or even text, but an image, makes it impossible to email someone. I imagine they want to drive a person to use FB as the default email service, which is goofy and stupid and irritating. If I want to send an email, don't make me work any harder than I have to. I'm not a big fan, but lots of folks are. Oh well. I think FB sucks.

I was informed that my account had been frozen because it had been hacked or security breached; while I appreciate that [they] apparently detected this, the steps I need to take to solve the problem are not clear at all. If security issues are so important, why does it take days to resolve the issue; at least communicate what [they] are doing.

No economic damage but have lost contact with some friends during family health emergencies. Simply not acceptable. If not resolved soon. will have to cancel and use MySpace or some other site.

I have no idear how, but face book sent out an invite to a bunch of people in my e mail box. I am not happy! I only know this because of all the people who have joined my page thinking I sent them an invite. and one of the addresses has a lot of people on it and it came back to me too, so now I have no idear who got this and who did not. I did not see this note before it was sent out. The gives the impresion that I wrote the invite makes me sounds like a vain person.

Now I have people on my page that I would rather not have snooping around my info. I am so pissed off about this. If it was not for the fact that I live 5000 miles away from friends and familly I would have quit face book! I am totaly embarrased about the invite that went out. If I had wanted to invte someone I would do it one by one. I have no idear what happened but I should have been clear! this sneaky way of getting people to join up is just not right.

I use Facebook as a marketing tool for my small business. I specialize in copper jewelry. As a former resident of Atlanta, I knew Nora H. through the artist circuit. She does very good crochete work. I reached out to her because she is on facebook as well. She left me her phone number and I called her. We agreed that I would buy crochete earrings from her for my winter inventory. The wholesale price was 70.00 and she would send me about 8 pair. I provided my adress, phone number. On Oct 16 2009, I brought a money pak from Rite Aid and reloaded the money into the account number that Ms. Nora H. provided for me. Once finished I confirmed to Nora the money was available. She asked for a little extra for shipping and handling.

Two days later I called and Nora said she hadn't sent off the items. I called a day later, she said she just left the post office but she was driving and she didn't have the confirmation number. I called her a day later, she said she was with her mom, her car broke down and she'd get me the confirmation number from fed ex later. Days have gone by and Nora won't return my calls, she won't give me the tracking number, she won't reply back on face book, return texts, or refund cash.

Usually, I would never pursue such matters. However, I am a government employee and I work very hard for my salary. I don't have time for theft, petty or not. She hurt my business because my clients had orders waiting for the crochete earrings. I know that it will cost more to pursue this. However, Ms. H. needs to learn how to conduct business more honestly.

The result is I had to cancel a jewelry party that was set for Oct 23, 2009. I had to turn away about 20 clients who's main interest was crochete earrings. There are no crochete artist in New Haven, Ct. I would have used that time to promote Nora H.'s products and direct them to facebook.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to contact anyone at Facebook regarding problems with my account. The Help section only puts you in a loop of 200,000 others users experienceing the same issue. NOONE from facebook EVER answers or contacts users to help resolve issues. NO email, NO phone and NO address is presented for resolution of complaints. Please help.

As earlier july a contest has been opened for developers in india. We worked on learning and developing the application. But all the dates are passed, since there is no feedback's or responses from the page and from facebook regarding winners selection. Reports has been sent many times to facebook.

Kathleen of waterbury, CT October 13, 2009

Facebook has breached the law by intruding my privacy, as it has automatically created an account using my email account WITHOUT my knowledge. As facebook system then automatically invited friends, it has created embarassment

David of Delray Beach, FL September 17, 2009

On August 9th 2009 my facebook account got disabled. With no warnings or notices from Facebook of anything wrong with my account. I am giving full rights approval concent to the Federal Government or any other parties to view my email account. To prove that Facebook did not send any kind of warnings, notice or message of any violations of my account. Yes, my account grew very rapidly but, there was no communication on facebook's end about my account.

I need to speak with my friends and family about my recent step-fathers death. I have filed complaints with the BBB and the State of CA as well. I just want my account enabled. Thank you,
