I was charged $100 by a "Lefty Carlton" from Facebook connected to this phone number.I immediately called my bank and reported it. I canceled the card and got a new one in its place. Be careful and keep an eye on you bank accounts!

Why would you give him any information? Don't ever give out information before you check out who's calling you first to make sure it's legit.

I'm sorry, but the original poster is incorrect. 1.650.543.4800 is indeed the published phone number for Meta. Many scammers use this number as their Caller ID to trick people into thinking that Facebook or Instagram is calling them. Despite this, the number does legitimately belong to Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus. Support is not available at this phone number - only on-line. But to say the number is not owned by Facebook is just wrong. It's even the number listed on your credit card statement when you purchase advertising through Facebook and Instagram.

by an anonymous user from: Budd, Illinois, United States

I'm sorry but I believe your so wrong. For 1 I got a email from "Facebook" saying about changing my password, it had a code to put in and a alternate link in the email to push, if you wanted to click that instead. The PROBLEM with this is that's NOT the email address for my FB nor is it the backup email, it's a backup backup backup email that I only use for my Amazon account. And this phone number was attached to it. And the email it came from was NOT a FB email! Plus I also found a name of a person that is suppose to own that number and their address for it which is a landline. Also HOW do you change your number to show that so called FB number on someone's caller ID?? So I could call you and somehow change the number you see on your caller ID??? Bc I DONT believe you can do that, but if your a HACKER I believe you probably could!!! So I'm actually wondering about you!!!???? Since you made that comment

We received a charge for $8.91 supposedly from Facebook with this phone number attached. It caused the bank to have to reissue the card with a new number, but I had already tried to call the fake number. How does Meta handle this?

Don't know who these people are - apparently there are several 'names' using this phone number. Just by chance I was checking my debit account card transactions and found a billing to my account. No clue what it was and so canceled the card and have the amount being disputed. What a bunch of scum. Like there's not enough c**p going on these days. Wondering how they got my card number. I never answer phone calls from names I don't recognize and certainly wouldn't even provide a card to anyone over the phone. Waiting to hear back from the card issuer.

by an anonymous user from: Pluckemin, Bedminster, New Jersey, United States

Yes they are sick! Someone from this number just wiped out my debit account, making 24 transactions in 2 days. All through Facebk purchases. So sad, praying that the bank will reimburse. Being self-employed and out of work like many others right now...and these scammers took everything! :(

by an anonymous user from: Newburgh, New York, United States

Thankfully my bank fraud department contacted me today but I found almost $600 in charges from something called FACEBK and it lists the phone number (650) 543 - 4800. I did purchase one thing off of a Facebook ad and now I'm disputing everything I've purchased from a Facebook ad but it looked legitimate. It was a freaking face mask that I thought was cool. I thought it was taking a while to arrive. I'm reporting all ads that pop up. This is absurd. I had to change my card.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Vancouver, Washington, United States

Holy c**p! I just opened my credit card statement and there were 15 charges from someone calling themselves FACEBK. (They were smart enough to keep the charges small enough to not send up any red flags with my credit card company. But still, they totaled over $1,200.00.) I did a search on the phone number and there were a zillion posts where people have been charged as much as $2,500.00! I'll tell you, this is why I use a credit card for everything and not a debit card. The customer service rep immediately removed all of the fraudulent charges and they are sending me a new card. Scary.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Arlington, Virginia, United States

Received 4 "pending" charges on a credit card account of mine $1.00, $1.00, $25.00 and $3.94. Strange the card was never used for any transactions and inside my wallet? Cancelled that card and fraud alert noted on my VISA account.
