Can someone explain what happened here?
1) His FB credentials were hacked?
2) All to force 'spend' on some odd Vietnamese add? How does that benefit the scammer?
3) If the money went to FB for clearly scummy purposes, how on earth does FB not simply refund the ad spend? There's not cost of goods sold here for them, usually they should be pretty easy on giving you the money - or at very least giving you credits?
