What happens if your Facebook page is stolen?

As a city council person it’s Priscilla Ayres-Reiss’ job to protect and fight for the citizens of Southgate. She had no idea she would become a victim and need someone to fight for her when her Facebook account got stolen. “One of my friends reached out to me and said, hey, what’s up with the new picture? And so when I went and looked, it was Julie Plum’s picture that was on there. And I’m like, I don’t know what’s happening here, but this is still my page,” Priscilla said. If you find yourself suddenly Facebook friends with someone you’ve never seen before -- then what happened to your real friend might be what happened to Priscilla. Her Facebook page was hacked. The hacker deleted her pictures, changed her name to “Julie Plum” and started making new posts as this new person. It wasn’t just a Facebook page that was stolen. It was years of memories, and connections with friends and family.
