Thanks for trying to help Maggie. I set up the account a few weeks ago with just email, because I do not have an internet phone and do not want FB to have my number. I want to use internet.

I saw a verification email from them several days after they sent it - I don't check email every day (why should I??) FB had been ok in between. Then they stopped me logging in, demanding a phone number. I tried emailing, but there is no "helpline", so I replied to the security emails they sent when I changed p/w.

We have new work phones, my number is  not yet ported, so I used the SIM number, which will disappear. I had asked a lad at work who said he made up a number and disabled SMS messages within FB. They sent to code and I entered it, THEN they wanted a photo. I hate photos, but took one, and uploaded it, and got the message in the pic above.

Now I don't know what is happening.

I don't see how they can verify a photo without something to verify it against. And there are no pics of me online, because I don't let people take my picture.

I am not technically incompetent, I just refuse to allow them free acces to all my info, not because I have anything to hide but simply because it's none of their bl00dy business!!

Sorry - not ranting at you, just totally frustrated at the behaviour of generations of people who haven't read 1984 and who genuinely believe that "THEY" are benevolent. Flipping idiots. Non-fantasy based SCI-fi should be compulsory - all the ones that explore what happens when The Company rules all. Frightening enough is that while a colleague was in the US, he conducted a number of experiements and proved that his phone was listening to his conversations.
