Someone is using my Facebook account – can I get it back?
Is your account out of your access? Not a big deal! It has been a common issue, as the number of hackers is increasing globally. Well, the first thing you are suggested to do is to try default account recovery options. If you are moving with this option, you will be insisted to identify the account that can be done by entering your full name or friend’s name.
