Q&A: How can I stop my ex from logging into my Facebook account and posting stuff in my name?
Question from Brenda T.: I have a very serious problem, Rick.
Someone keeps logging into my Facebook account and posting really nasty stuff on my Timeline and pretending that it’s me.
I have no proof, but I think it’s my ex. We parted on nasty terms.
I’ve changed my password several times but they always manage to get back in somehow and post more nasty things on my Timeline.
I know it’s not a virus because I ran all the scans listed in your virus removal post and no infections were found.
I’ve already lost several friends because of this. How can I stop it once and for all?

Scam alert: Don’t fall for the ‘Why are all these strangers following me?’ hoax on Facebook?

Q&A: How can someone use my Facebook account to post things in my name without ever logging into my account?
Question from Kim: Hi Rick. I’m a regular reader of your blog and I love your tips!
I’m having a problem with Facebook and I really need your help.
Someone is posting things from my Facebook account and making it look like it’s me posting it.
These posts are usually ads for things like sunglasses and other “junk”.
They post exactly three posts every day, always at the same exact times (7:30am, 1pm and 6pm).
I read your post that explains how to check to see if anyone is logged into your Facebook account and I’ve checked several times to see if I can catch them logged into my account, but no one is ever logged in even during the times that the posts are being published.
This is really confusing me. How can someone post something in my name from my Facebook account without even being logged into it?
I really need to get this stopped because I’m losing friends over it. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
