Advice please - I've been scammed

[Imverygullible]

Firstly, I know I've been stupid and gullible but I need advice on any action I now need to take.

I got a fake (but convincing) notification from facebook last night telling me my business page had been unpublished and I then followed a link where I had to upload a picture of my passport and change my password. My facebook then got hacked. Facebook notified me I'd been hacked and I got my account restored and changed passwords etc.

However the scammers now have a photo of my passport - the photo page with passport number etc. What should I do next? Do I go to the police in case someone steals my identity? Or contact my bank? What is the best course of action please - I don't know what I need to do and googling hasn't thrown up any practical advice. I don't want to waste police time but feel like I should report it to someone. Thanks for any advice and please don't tell me I've been gullible because I know I have!

Cancel your passport (report it as stolen) and get a new one, in the meantime report it to ActionFraud.

And change and strengthen all your passwords on everything. Add two-factor authentication. Email, banking, subscription services, shopping sites, social media - everything.

Thanks @Flickersy - super helpful!

Hello, the same has happened to me 😢 just wondering if all has been ok and what action you took?? Thanks!

please don't label yourself as stupid....scammers have got sophisticated and have lots of practice at fooling people ..you get caught up in the moment. Try to stop and have a minute to yourself to think about what is happening before acting. Easier said than done at the time I know. Normal decent people act in good faith so stop blaming yourself sort it out as best you can....yes it's a lot of hassle and move on. Good luck!
