Got a message that someone somehow logged onto my facebook in Cincinatti last night. Seemingly the only thing that has happened is that they listed a car for a good price

Bro even listed his real email. I don't understand what the purpose of this scam is, I've just taken down the listing after one message.

I didn't save the email so I don't know where it was at, but if any of y'all know a Griff Creem, let them know not to log onto my account again >:(

They scam the customer and the customer reports you? Maybe payid scam

Probably something like that, I got an inbox from a FB account last year whose name I vaguely remember. Clicked through to see who this was, and I suddenly remembered it was a dumbass fake name my friend made in 2011 because he didn't want his real name to be searchable, but still wanted to be on Facebook. He stopped using the email associated with it after he started applying for jobs and "sexbomb" + a string of numbers @hotmail was apparently detrimental to getting hired at EB Games or most other places, really. After a while, he forgot the password to both the hotmail and the Facebook account, so when his laptop that the FB account was logged in on died, he just made a new one.

Fast forward to 2025, someone somehow got access to an inactive Facebook account and started messaging people about wanting to sell their TV. What a weird grind. Oh well.
