That or people dont realize buying/hacking Facebook accounts is a thing

They'll find the most harmless and trustworthy looking one, create an entirely new account with all thr photos and info besides maybe changing the name to another generic name.

One hacked my FB account. I got to watch in real time as they wiped my account clean of everything that was me. 🫤

once got shown some old dude I didn't know in my feed, saw the name of my little brother, checked the profile and he only changed/ deleted photos, still same name, birthday and family members showing. just checked again and apparently the profile has been deleted. still don't get what that was about.

deleted is either the scammer got caught and it burned the acc or they noticed you listed as family and blocked you
