How to Fix Your Grey Facebook Account
How do you fix a 'Grey' Facebook account? That's the question that I was trying to solve for several days after discovering I was unable to share my Instagram Insights with a company I wanted to work with. I had no clue what a grey account was before I embarked on the rather painstaking journey of figuring out what was wrong. After spending days combing through my Facebook settings, I finally found out that once you have a grey account, you are totally doomed and need to start your facebook page over from scratch. Just kidding- there's a way to fix it. Here is what worked for me:
First step: Make sure your Instagram is a Business Page. Switch your account to a Personal Account, then back to a Business Account. If you get a red popup when changing back that says it looks like you have a Grey account, continue reading for how to get out of the grey Facebook account zone.
Important: It's not an Instagram issue or the company you are trying to work with. If you have a grey account, it's 100% your Facebook Page. A 'Grey Account' occurred if you turned a private page into a public page or merged duplicate pages anytime since opening the account (this apparently looks shady to Facebook).
Try this if you still have the login to the main account (not the Facebook Page, the regular account where you can add friends) . If you don't have access to the main private account, scroll to the second instruction list. This is a helpful excerpt by 'Timmy' in the Facebook Community Center, but didn't work for me.
"1. Log into your main (regular account)... and if you don't have one, create one.
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.
4. On the menu on the left hand side, choose "Shared Logins."
5. The text that I saw when I clicked on shared logins is this: "If you use shared logins (also called gray accounts) to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts, add them to Business Manager. When you do this, you'll have permission to work on any of the assets with the same roles that the shared login has. If the shared login owns ad accounts and Pages, you can also transfer that ownership to your Business Manager. Business Manager is a more secure way to manage your Facebook Pages and ad accounts."
6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
2. In the core Facebook menu, choose "Manage Business" (at the time of this writing, it's found on the top Right of the page with a little down arrow icon... next to the also super small lock icon for security. The arrow icon is the farthest icon to the top right for easy reference.
3. On the menu, choose "Settings." The menu at the time of this writing is two tab style links: Home, Settings... and that's it. It's located at the top left below the login name.

6. AND... we're done: simply click on "Add Shared Login" " (end of excerpt)
If you no longer have access to the main account, here's what you need to do.
1. Create new private Facebook account (account #2)
2. Add account #2 as an administrator for the grey Facebook page.
3. Delete account (#1) from administrator list, leaving only the new Account #2 as Administrator. (If you're concerned about losing access, keep Account #1 as an editor, but I don't know if that will still work)
4. Create Business Page for Account #2 (The account setup for a Business Page for Facebk was as annoying as the grey facebook page and didn't want to register a new account at first. It finally registered after I completely logged out of Facebook and reset my browser).
Once you have done the 4 steps, check to see if you can connect your insights. If not, make sure your Instagram is still connected.
Good luck turning your grey facebook page into a cheerful functioning one!
XOXO

I’m Kami Garcia From Canada I’M going to share with you how I got my stolen crypto back from the scammers, after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was introduced to this cryptocurrency scam by a guy I met on Instagram, and after investing all my life savings, they swindled me off $6,300,000. It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened, I was bankrupt and my credit was damaged. I reported to the authorities and there was nothing they could do to get these scammers or return my money.

In May, my credit scores were 486 (TransUnion), 514 (Equifax), and 523 (Experian). When I applied for a mortgage loan in June, I was denied due to my low FICO scores. I turned to Reddit to ask for advice on how to improve my credit. I received numerous suggestions about H A C K M A V E N S . I reached out to him, and he replied promptly. I shared all the details about my credit situation, but I was hesitant to release my funds to him. He assured me that he could fix my credit, and I would pay for his services once the job was completed, which I agreed to. After three days, I received a notification from Experian saying, “Congrats, your FICO Score has increased!” I quickly logged in to check, and to my surprise, he had raised my scores to 806 (TransUnion), 814 (Equifax), and 816 (Experian). All negative items on my credit report were removed; no inquiries, no collections. I’m incredibly thankful. I just received better credit card offers. H A C K M A V E N S is amazing!

Title: From Despair to Hope — How I Recovered $255,000 Lost to a Forex Scam
Earlier this year, I made what I thought was a smart financial move — investing $3,500 into an online forex trading platform that appeared highly professional and convincing. At first, everything seemed perfect. My initial deposit started growing rapidly. I watched my account balance rise to an incredible $155,000 in what felt like no time.
Excited by the apparent success, I decided to trust the process and added more funds. As time passed, I invested an additional $100,000, encouraged by what seemed to be a thriving portfolio. However, the moment I tried to withdraw my profits, things began to unravel.
The platform stalled my withdrawal attempts with vague excuses and eventually demanded more payments — so-called “processing fees” and “security clearances.” That was when the harsh reality hit me: I had fallen victim to a meticulously orchestrated scam.
The pain of losing over $250,000 was unbearable. Sleepless nights, overwhelming regret, and a deep sense of betrayal followed. I was ashamed to speak about it, thinking no one could help. But fate had one more surprise in store — and this time, it was a good one.
During a desperate online search for recovery options, I came across Cloudstrike Cyber Security. Skeptical but with nothing left to lose, I reached out to them via their contact email: [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]
From the very first interaction, they were professional, empathetic, and direct. They listened to my story, analyzed the platform I had been scammed by, and explained the recovery process step-by-step. I was shocked by how much they already knew about these types of fraud rings. Over the course of several weeks, they worked tirelessly — tracking digital footprints, leveraging blockchain forensics, and using advanced cyber investigation tools.
Against all odds, Cloudstrike Cyber Security recovered 95% of my lost funds. That’s right — they brought back over $240,000 that I thought was gone forever.
To anyone out there going through something similar: you are not alone. Scammers are getting smarter, but so are the people fighting them. I highly recommend Cloudstrike Cyber Security to anyone who has been a victim of a crypto or forex scam. They gave me back not just my money, but my peace of mind.
