Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB) Facebook Scam

Facebook users are asked to delete or ignore messages that claim they are have won thousands or millions of dollars in the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB), and that their names were seen on the winners' list.

I believe WCAB contacted me thru Friends Messenger, I fell for it. But now they are using my FB account to scam contacts and I am locked out. I cannot get in touch with Facebook. I want to stop them.

This scam is still going around. I just received the following Facebook message:
I received $250,000.00 cash from the Federal Government department of Workers Compensation Appeals Board, do you know anything about this?

This friend's FB account has obviously been hacked. I just reported the page to FB.
