The fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven says
a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

Fellow NetOps,

I realize this is an unorthodox / off-topic request, but I've been
trying to help a friend out and don't know how to advise her next.

If there is someone from FB here who has connections to someone in
account security and is willing to contact me off-list, I'd really
appreciate it.  A friend had her FB account of many years hijacked and then
held for ransom by a random dude.  When she asked FB to intercede, she
appeared to have her account back for a short time (< 24 hrs) before FB
themselves blocked the account, and that's where we are now.  It's been
over 2 weeks and she has been going round and round with "CS" and getting
nowhere...whoever these robots are keep repeating requests for her to send
in ID, which she does, and then they repeat the request again and it just
goes in a circle.  I have a feeling that I know what's going on
behind-the-scenes, but we can't seem to get a living, breathing human over
there who isn't just reading a script to actually listen to her.
Seriously, what is the average person supposed to do under these
circumstances?

If this was just the story of a lone FB account I'm not sure I would
bother and I'd just tell her to get a new one.  But she runs a business
(popular local coffee shop) with a FB page that this account of hers was
apparently the only admin for.

Thanks in advance for any leads,
