Someone created an email (and Facebook account) using an email address similar to mine.

Edit: There is a story behind all this:
Since the new president was elected their staff said that people who complained about Bolsonaro could be checked and later lose scholarship, public jobs and other terrifying things (this is true).

So, what was my idea:
Delete my facebook and create a new one, but only for close friends so I can act without being persecuted.

I changed the email associated with the old account ([email protected] to [email protected]) and tried to create a new one using my email address (luigimario @ ...).

It was at that moment that I received the message saying that it was already associated with another account.

You could say it was because of the account I already have. Even I thought it was something related to the account I own.

But when I tried to log on FB I saw a complete different account, when I tried to delete I got the message saying that they detected some suspicious actions...

This is so annoying ¬¬


Original post

Let me give you an example:

Let's say that my email is [email protected], this person created the email [email protected]

Now when I try to created a new account on Facebook "using" luigimario@... i get a message saying:

"the e-mail luigi.mario@... is already associated with disabled account ...."

Any tips on what I can do? I did not find the facebook support contact.

Doesn't gMail consider luigimario and luigi.mario the same eMail address? If so, can you do a password recovery on that account?

This is correct. l.u.i.g.i.m.a.r.i.o and luigimario are the same account.

Anyway, are you sure it isn't your account OP? Try doing a password recovery. If not, contact Facebook customer support.

my problem now is that Facebook is saying that my account has had some suspicious login attempts and now I am forbidden to log in until they check it out ¬¬

The account is probably DOA because the person used your email address to sign up for it and can't get in to it.

Good time to quit shitty Facebook, get ahold of their customer service, prove who you are and then nuke all the info you have on FB.

Is your name common? May have been an honest mistake on someone's part.

The dot is still your email tho. You get any messages sent to [email protected]. No one else gets those mails.

It's not a similar address that someone else controls. You control it.
