Is it possible to actually 'talk' to a Facebook person.
For a while now, about three times, I have had my 'FB messenger' site blocked.
I think the very 1st time a message mentioned about 8 reasons why I had been blocked, but not which of the 8 and which post. I tried to contact them but I end up going around and around in circles.
I have found out what is prompting the blocking, which has, yesterday they DISABLED my account after I posted 6 photographs of a friend's DOG on Messenger. I then remembered the last time it happened, I had posted multiple photos, and 'spam' was mentioned as one of the 8 possible reasons for blocking.
So now I know the reason, how the hell do I talk to them about it?

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
