“I went to log-in and Facebook told me I didn't exist.”

Today's short story features Luke Lorick from South Carolina. We told the story of his Tailgating Challenge project on Episode #1746. He actually makes a few thousand dollars a month from a blog and review site about the sport of tailgating.

But guess what! Luke's Facebook page with 150,000 followers was hacked. I had this problem myself too. Everything he says about Facebook not being helpful is absolutely true; it's not just him.

So let's hear the story from him along with the eventual resolution and an important reminder about updating your passwords. You need to hear this! Don't let this happen to you.
