We were talking with a customer who saw these posts and didn't want to go to our new page because they were afraid we had been hacked and they were being directed to someplace weird. Well we guarantee you it is someplace weird but it is also where we are doing all of our new posts. If you don't want to follow this link to get there just go to Google and search for "Facebook ReUse Program U of M". That should hopefully get you there. You should follow and like that page because we still cannot log into this one. We can post because it has been delegated to us but we have no ability to log into it because two-factor authentication has failed and Facebook/Meta fails at helping out their customers. Or just click this link and it will get you there ReUse Program U of MN

If you want, you can still send us Bitcoin too!

There are new posts up about some fancy chairs and a lot of foam on the new page.

05/03/2024

As far as we can tell, this page is still visible to everyone. We still cannot log in and Meta will not help us, mostly because they do not have a way to let us know that we need help. As long as we cannot log in, all post will continue to be on the new page.

Still no luck here on logging in to our account. The page is still visible as far as we can tell, but as long as we are unable to log in, we will continue to use only the new page to post puns, items for sale etc. This page will only be used to update everyone about the change to the new page.

By request, we are posting the conversation we had with the scammers on the new page. We hope you enjoy. FYI, we did make some edits, like removing the name of the scammers and creating our own AI generated thumbnail for them. The best part is how they don't ever respond to us about the chairs. We hope you enjoy and remember to go to the new page and follow us their!

Heads up about our page!

We're still having a bit of a hiccup with Meta's two-factor authentication, and even though we know our login info and can reset our password, it's not letting us past the two factor authentication problem.

Frustratingly, Meta doesn't have any easy way to reach support. They say we need to log in by next week to keep our page visible, but the codes we receive for two-factor authentication just aren't working!

The good news, we can still post because some controls have been delegated to other users.

To make sure you don't miss anything, we've created a new page:

ReUse Program U of MN

Here's the plan, if we regain control of this page, we'll delete the new one and switch back here. But in the meantime, follow and like the new page to stay connected! Until we have resolution, the only posts here will be about us not having access and directing all to the new page.

We might even throw in a pun or two along the way.

Lastly a PSA for all,

Apparently, mentioning our little Facebook snafu has turned our comments section into a haven for "cybersecurity experts" who love stock photos of people that can be reverse image searched. You know what we are talking about - they sprinkle their messages with "kindly" like it's glitter, everything thing is "urgent" and "time sensitive" and their emoji game is on point. Nothing says I am a well trained professional like an emoji. We should know, 💯%

Oh, and the best part? They all want to solve our log in woes for a small fee in cryptocurrency (of course!) or sent as a "friend or family" payment through PayPal. Funny, we offered one of them all the free chairs they wanted, but we still can't log in. Thought they would want to be comfortable in their hacker farms. New chairs are expensive and we thought they'd be more valuable to them then bitcoin.

Newsflash hackers, we're on a first-name basis with the Nigerian prince, and let me tell you, he's clueless about how two factor authentication works too.

Look, we appreciate the enthusiasm, but these offers are about as legitimate as a three-dollar bill (that we would price and try to sell for $4). We're deleting them as fast as they appear, but sleep is a necessity even for social media warriors.

So, ReUse enthusiasts, don't fall for these scams. Don't click the links, and for the love of all that is reused, don't forward that junk.

Heads up, UMN ReUse Program fans!

We have an important announcement about our page.

Our current page might be going dark soon. It's a long story, but it involves a lack of access because the people that originally set it up no longer work here. We're working to regain access, but there's a chance it won't be possible.

To stay connected, please like and follow our new temporary, maybe permanent page: ReUse Program U of MN.

Here's the link:

Ideally, we'll recover the old page and deactivate the new one. But better safe than sorry, right?

We will be sending out a lot of these notifications over the next week as we approach the day Meta says our page will be deactivated. We apologies for all the extra posts to come but want to make sure everyone that is interested can find us.

Thanks for your understanding!
