Continuing my string of bad luck, somebody appears to have hacked the Jennifer Crusie Facebook page and I can’t get into it, they’ve removed me as administrator. Could somebody here look to see if Jennifer Crusie on Facebook is still accessible? Not Jenny Crusie, that’s still there, or was the last time I looked.
Argh.

Jenny, there’s still a page called Jennifer Crusie (Jenny Crusie). Your last post was back in June 2012. Is that the one?
That’s an old one. Defunct. Yes, I must clean up my act.
In that case, no, there’s not another page for you.
Hi Jenny, I just looked up Jennifer Crusie on Facebook and didn’t see you. There are others but not you.
Please take this information as a look, I am not on Facebook I used DH’s account.
Ditto. Hope you can get your Author page back soon!
Jenny – I am not a tech wiz, unfortunately. I can’t help you. I wish I could. I did comment on one of Bobs pages that I follow. Maybe he can figure out the answer to your question.
I can find Jennie Crusie and see pages referring to Jennifer Crusie but cannot find Jennifer Crusie.
I can see both pages, but I’m only friends with the Jenny Crusie page.
But I can view Jennifer Crusie, last post in 2012z
I searched for “Jennifer Crusie” and only Jenny Crusie came up. ;(
Same. No JENNIFER, just JENNY comes up.
No Jennifer Crusie. I’m a bit amazed at the number of spam “contact random guy at Meta—he’ll fix it” responses your latest post on Jenny Crusie got.
Just looked and the top message was Jennifer Crusie 5 days. Ago. A chat with Bob.
I see a Jennifer Cruise but no Jennifer Crusie. Argh! And Happy Monday, everyone.
Unfortunately this is very common. Please don’t blame yourself. Another creator that I follow on Instagram lost her fb recently and has been struggling with Meta support to try to get it back in her control. Apparently they are very unhelpful. Please don’t blame yourself. Internet fraud and hacking just keeps getting more and more common. A stat that they told us at the bank (not sure how accurate or where it came from) is that we are seeing a 300 percent increase this year.
someone stole my The L.A. Stories FB page years ago, for what reason I’ll never know, since I did no business that way and had no following. I just shrugged and let it go … my private page and website will have to do.
Sorry people are f**king with you, Jenny. It’s the last thing you need, at any time, but especially right now. 🙁
Thank you all very much. That’s what I thought, but I wanted to confirm it.
Same here. No Jennifer, only Jenny. I realized I had never friended the Jenny page, so I went ahead and did that.
Any of the authors here getting fake book club emails? (I haven’t been around lately, so maybe we’ve already discussed this.) If they weren’t so annoying, they’d be hilarious. They are so obviously AI. Some claim to love something that didn’t happen in the book, or to have read and love a book that hasn’t even been written yet. Ugh.
Try this? https://m.facebook.com/help/738660629556925/?helpref=uf_share
Yes, report it to Facebook as soon as possible. It’s not a quick fix, but the process should be started.
And I’ll also confirm the Jennifer Crusie (Jenny Crusie) page is still active. other folks I follow who’ve had this happen to them shifted posting to other business pages or their personal page while trying to reclaim their pro page. It usually takes months.
Yes, I got a few, starting a couple of months ago. It’s an AI thing. Or “publishing-industry-scammer using AI” thing. Sort of like scammers on steroids.

I’m getting fake “marketing” emails. Oh I loved your book we could do so much with it. So far, referencing one specific title, which is a self-published short story, and I’m like, honey. Ain’t nobody ever broke big with a self-published short story. I just snort and delete.
I’ve been getting these for books that have been out for years and are 3rd or 4th in a series. Nope.
I put in Jennifer Crusie and Jenny Crusie came up. Also some pages that discuss Jennifer Crusie, but no Jennifer Crusie page.
Good luck – what a pain!
I clicked on the saved link to your page in my shortcuts and got this:
It was working a few days ago.
Well, that sucks. Only the Old page was up Chad no current posts. This happened to my son and then Facebook banned him for quite a while for nothing. And he is a very highly tech person.
Who needs Facebook anyway.! I’m so glad you’re here
Irrelevant to you, but FB has been randomly (frequently) giving me the “something has gone wrong. please try again later” message over and over as I scroll. Nothing obvious to me has gone wrong. So.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. It’s horrible! You’re not alone; this has happened to so many creators I know.
Maybe you and Bob should start a new joint FB page, since you’re writing so many books together?

if that pasted correctly it is the link to your Jennifer Crusie (Jenny Crusie) FB page
Thats the one with the most recent post being 2012. Although the name has been updated to Jennifer.
There is a post from a few years ago saying Mollie had rescued it. I wonder if she still has administrator rights and can restore it?
