My Facebook Identity Stolen and Account Issues Driving Me Crazy

my Facebook account got swiped juicier, the crook went ahead and changed the phone number I used for activation. Now, I'm stuck. Every time I try to dive back in, it's like the platform's playing hard to get, asking for some verification. I've been jumping through hoops, trying to prove I'm the real deal, but Facebook's not having it. If it's this easy for someone else to stroll into my account, we've got ourselves a real security pickle. I'm shooting a message out to Facebook, hoping they'll do more than just ghost me on this issue. If not, I might get legal.
