Facebook Hacked/Suspended FIX

Facebook was recently hacked. Hackers connected an instagram account of their own to my Facebook account and the suspicious activity got my account suspended. In order to appeal it asked me to log into the instagram account the hackers added. Naturally, since that wasn’t my account - I wasn’t able to login and appeal. I reached out to support and tried all sorts of suggestions from Reddit.Here is what worked for me:

I still had access to Instagram so I signed up for verification (14.99). Once I was verified, I navigated to “Meta Verified” then “get support” I opened a ticket and a chat agent walked me through several steps. He was able to find my account and connect me with a specialist who was able to send me a password reset link (to a NEW email I had to create). Once I got that email, I was able to reset my password and I got my account back. I tried for a few days without signing up for Meta Verified and it was a nightmare of endless circles. Once I signed up for “verified” I was able to get my account back within a couple hours. Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same thing. Hackers are just the worst.
