A Simi Valley woman's Facebook page is full of posts about getting rich quick by investing in crypto, thanks to scammers who hacked her account.
“My daughter called me, and she said, ‘Mom, are you doing crypto?’ And I said, ‘No, of course not!’” she said.Scammers had taken over Ms. Murphy’s account and locked her out. Posing as Ms. Murphy, they hoped her friends and followers would hand over money.
Ms. Murphy said she reached out to Facebook repeatedly and asked them to return the account back to her or simply delete it. But she said Facebook ignored her requests. Michael Epstein, a media and first amendment law professor at Southwestern Law School, doesn’t think any lawyer can get very far on this issue. Epstein said Facebook makes it difficult to sue them. According to its Terms of Service, lawsuits must be filed in Northern California, and the company limits its liability to just $100.
