As of this morning, as I understand it Facebook is releasing personal information to anyone that wants it. When I logged onto the their "Privacy Settings" I found a statement that basically said that is untrue. By that time, I had already received several e-mails from porno sites, and at his point I have received SEVERAL more.

When I sent an e-mail to FB, they quickly sent an e-mail back to me stating that"If it doesn't pertain to FB Privacy" I need to to go on to those sites and search for the "Report" area! AND THEN FB will MONITOR it for me!

Got blocked for too many friend requests. Accused of abuse. Wouldnot tell me the lomit per amount of time just sent a warning and later I got blocked. The only help they have is referral to a question answer blog of pissed off people with same problems and no solutions.

Rachel of Scarsdale, NY November 30, 2009

My account has been temporarily disabled since November 9th because there suspected hacking/phishing. I am unable to complete the security verification process because the security code that Facebook is supposed to send to me never comes. I have sent countless emails and have recieved absolutely no help. All I keep getting are form responses saying that my problem has been forwarded to the team that can best assist me. Problem is, nobody ever emails me back with any help.

There is a Trojan on Facebook! It comes to you in a private message that says: 'hollly [expletive]! you are on nnews!' followed by a link that will download three Trojans to your computer! Then, it will send it to all of your friends! Facebook has deleted my posts on this matter! I can no longer add any pictures to Facebook! They deleted all tainted messages that I ever received! This is a cover up! I have written of this to the

I have also made a Video on You Tube. I tried to upload it to Facebook but they stopped it! If I try again, they will delete my account! There is no place to report this to Facebook as of this writing. There is a place to report Hacking, but your account will be deleted also, if you do that! Facebook knows about this and they are covering it up! I have Screen shots I took before they deleted them! I feel my account will be deleted soon.

I warned about 75 of my friends. I am unable to warn anyone else with a picture of what it looks like. These people should be in Jail for what they are doing, by covering this up! Now, the Virus even posts to your wall! Turning Friend against Friend, Strangers into enemies! This is a Trojan like you have never seen! Personally I believe one forth of all Facebook users will be infected and leave this very unsafe site!

The worst part is that this message comes from a friend! Someone you know and trust! I welcome an Attorney to contact me, one that is brave enough to take on Facebook! If they do delete me, I will loose hundreds of dollars I have spent on a game there, called Yoville

I got infected with the Koobface virus through Facebook. Apparently it's been a problem FB has know about for months but it still made its way to me and infected my brand new computer in spite of the securty measures I have in place. It also infected my mother who unwittingly "Purchased" security software to deal with the problem - they now have her bank account info and this virus wiped out her secuity software plus won't let her access any other kind of security software online so she can deal with this problem.

Very disappointed with Facebook. My consequences are the incovenience of trying to get rid of this worm and possibly having to pay someone to do it. My mother's consequences are that she will have to change her bank accounts and all other information, plus pay someone to rid her computer of this insidious virus that FB has know about for months.

My account was disabled 11/06/09 with the note that they did not have to disclose the reason. There was an option to contact them if I thought this was an error, which I did. As of today 11/18/09, I have neither had the courtesy of a response nor has my account been re-activated.

Jeffrey of Schenectady, NY November 18, 2009

They "disabled" my account because, they said, that I was adding friends (contacts) to quickly and that, therefore, I was harassing people. I had gone to great lengths to benefit from my "friend" contacts, also based upon their terms, which they violated. They have ignored my numerous contacts and pleas to restore the account.

I joined facebook to research a book I am writing. Instead I was insulted, harassed, threatened with death, and abused by one person. I complained to abuse@facebook but after one week, they have done nothing. My reputation has been ruined, and it has made me ill, too sick to work on my book.
