Thought that $100 case seemed off
Is he finally going to sell qty 100 of the Gold Crown Ball Polisher? 
I'm back! Shoutout to @azhousepro for sorting it all out! Also, thanks to @garczar for the assist!
Sorry to hear this… it’s so frustrating.
I’ve fallen victim to hackers four times now on social media sites.

Terrible.
Twice on here, once elsewhere.
Thank goodness for the admins help b4 I got stung.
What happened exactly, Mr R?
Did some lowlife actually manage to take over your account, or did they create a duplicate?

Is that really what happened? I was just making a joke a few posts up.
Here’s a screenshot of a scammer who was advertising Poker Pool ball sets for sale.
They had taken over the account of a genuine business in Texas… failing to notice their Cameroon service provider was visible in the top left corner.

To add insult to injury, Facebook are next to useless in addressing such problems.
They even sided with the scammer on one occasion… a conman (from Africa) who was literally advertising my own set of pool balls for sale!

I got a notification via email the email address linked to my AZB account was changed. I tried to login to change it back and change my password, but was unable to do so. Apparently, the hacker posted some items for sale; a 4x8 JB Case and a Breach at extremely low prices. I hope no one sent them any money.
That’s pretty much what has happened to me on Facebook.
I’m still not entirely sure how they are able to change private account details. Is it our fault, or the website in question? What can be done to prevent it happening again?
Change passwords frequently.
I don't believe that is currently considered part of best practice. Instead use long, complex passwords and a different password for each account. I use a password manager that does that for me.

And what if the password manager gets hacked -- Keys to the Kingdom in the Joker's hand?
