I just posted a message on TRF page on facebook on my husbands page
I asked the members about where I could get drawing ink. I had posted it and then my husband asked if I could add something. I did by clicking the edit button and added a couple of words and then pressed save/post.
That is were it all went wrong. It all disappeard and a message came up
We started to follow instructions , we gave the email address, as that's on FB anyway, Then they wanted more, like passport, or other similar......................well that's a step to far!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked TRF if they saw anything odd on their page, but no nothing.
Don't know what to do now

If it helps - it’s not a scam unfortunately FB sometimes kick you off if they think your account has been compromised.
You will have to go through this process if you want to get back on.

I just feel that asking for copy of passport, marriage certificate, driving licence or visa is not right!!!
Also I noticed today that there is a David Selwood account I've never seen before, it has no profile picture and when I looked at it, it showed 1 photo in 'photos' and that is a picture of David but no other info. Now I am worried!

For what it's worth anyone wanting passport, marriage certificate, driving licence comes/visa across as highly suspect. With those three it would be possible to ghost you, I would have thought. Somewhere on this forum is a link whereby you can check. Someone will point you in the correct direction.

If you Google it - it should confirm if FB ask for this information.
It happened to a relative of mine and they had to send copy of passport not all of the items

I was asked to provide passport, details to change my surname, I decided not to bother gave it one last shot when I went back to UK and there was no passport request!! This was, a few years ago.
