FACEBOOK - SCAMS

Woman, 20, reveals how hackers took over her Facebook account when she clicked on used car advert - before her photos and details were used to scam others out of thousands of pounds

'Ellie White Turner, 20, says the social media giant has done nothing to help her get her account back after fraudsters stole her five-year-old profile and used it to flood the Marketplace selling platform with illicit ads purporting to offer cars at knock-down prices. 

'The scammers, offering to 'deliver' the car with a money-back guarantee, simply disappear with the cash after it has been sent over in advance by a victim.'
