So I found out from my grandma that my Facebook account got hacked. I haven’t used it in like a decade and don’t care about it, but I also don’t want it being used to potentially scam people.

I told everyone I know who still uses FB to block and report the account. Today I was trying to get the account shut down and it is now locked (says it’s not visible and can’t be used by anyone). Is that enough to prevent it from being used for malicious purposes? My only goal is to keep people like my grandma from getting scammed.

I’m hoping it being locked is enough to solve the problem but wanted some extra feedback from people who maybe know more than me :)

      Yeah the whole process of trying to deal with facebooks customer service has been annoying to say the least lol.

      Glad other people also seem to think having it locked is a good enough solution
