Facebook asking for Drivers License/Birth Certificate Info

Posted on 10/02/2015 10:51:53 AM PDT by hsmomx3

So I attempt to get into my Facebook page which I was able to earlier today, and all of a sudden, it is asking me for ID's before I can get to my page.

Asking for a drivers license, birth certificate, pictures, etc.

I've never had this happen!

Anyone else experience this?

Happened to me - it means that they suspect that you’re using a fake identity.

Check freepmail.

Wait; don’t check freepmail yet. Do you use your real name on FB?

I gave Facebook the Facebook anti-abuse phone number as my own.

So, it takes more ID to facebook than it does to vote now?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Did they mention that swampland in Louisiana?

The guy said there was lots of oil there. By this time next year, I'll be rich!

Easy fix. Get rid of Facebook.

All of these social media websites are little more than intelligence gathering tools and traps for self-incrimination.
Everything that you post on social media is archived FOREVER, even if you delete it. Intelligence and law enforcement agencies regularly use social media.

"Hmm....so if everything checks out with no malware, etc. what is the next step?"

Log clear out of your computer then log back in again. Then try facebook account.

That is astonishing.

If that happens to me it’s, “So long Facebook”.
