Nobody’s perfect.You have to be patient when driving and make allowances for other road users, simple really and not get agitated. last week a guy got of his car when the traffic lights were red and attacked me.Unfortunately for him ,it didn’t end well.But then I remained calm and he was angry.

I tried logging in on a new device and it locked me out. When I reset the password and went to log in, it told me I needed to verify the log in from a device I had recently been logged in on. The problem is, when you try that it locks you out of wherever you have been logged in before so the system is pointless. Then it tells you to call 3 friends based on tags to get them to send you a code. The problem with that is out of the ones it chose, I don't see them or have their numbers so the circle begins again. So, I ended up having to send FB a copy of my driving license as it's my only photo ID. Here we are on day 3 of being locked out of my account and am still waiting for them to verify who I am. They sent an email with an unlock link and code but when I use it, it sends me back into a circle and asks for some photo ID despite the email saying it should let me back in and allow me to change the password. I've even verified my main email and back-up email to prove I am who I say I am. What an absolute farce. Anywhere else just sends you a code to the registered email and lets you get back in (also if 2 step verification is on, a code is sent to the registered mobile phone).

alexp999 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes, because facebook needs photo ID for "security" 🤦♂️ I wish they'd just be honest and say it's to add to their hoards of data on you, and they are just holding you to ransom. I tried to delete an instagram account (with no pictures on it, I just used it for following) and they wanted photo ID to delete it. Uhm, no! How would it even prove anything when they have no other pictures of me? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, I do like Instagram for killing time, that is generally just pictures (mostly cars with the people I follow) without all the negativity and arguments that seem to happen on facebook. 2 minutes ago, StephenFord said: What is this 'messenger' you speak of??

It's my main form of communication tbh (well, maybe second to this forum lol!) but I am aware of anything I write on there not being totally secure.

TomsFocus Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Regarding things being unsecure online... Does anyone know if there's still a way to find a sellers post code from an eBay ad number? There used to be sneaky ways of extracting it (like putting the ad into Shiply) but they seem to have stopped it altogether now. Not anything dodgy, it's just a collection only item so I want to know the rough area without having to bother the seller by contacting them first.

zain611 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 How long has it taken you guys to sell a car? Put my car on sale about a week and a half ago and haven't had any serious people coming to view it despite it having a lot of work and stuff on it. Just had a lady message me today saying she's interested in coming today to see the car only to then message and confirm if the car is automatic which it isn't and saying shes looking for an auto 🤦. I'm sure the month doesn't help at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumtree I've had one scammer message me this. Had one previously before I readvertised it. Both within the first day advertising Facebook I've had a few people message. One as I mentioned today. Some lady message then asking for my address which I didn't be specific on and just got a thumbs up then another asking if it's auto. I am thinking of putting it in autotrader after a week if no luck. It's £75 but not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been registered on eBay for 20 years now and have never had a 'non payer'... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
