    im laughing but im so mad at myself , some one sent me a message asking me to make him an admin to my group to populate it since he loves the character which the group based on him, i never thought if i made someone admin that he can delete me from the group, so yes he did it and stole my group which i spent 1 years or more collecting members, now what i can do to get it back ?

    Send me your SIN, mothers maiden name, date of birth and any other personal information... so I can verify you were the original owner and I will tell you how to get it back.

    I would call or email facebook support to see if I could get it back. That is weird that someone could remove you since you are the owner. Thanks for the heads up, though, it could save a lot of people from having the same problem. Don't make anyone an admin on anything unless you know them or you know absolute you have completed control. I am sorry this happened to you.

    unfortunately, you're basically 99% screwed. I know that's the answer you don't want to hear, but the most you can really do is "report" the group.

    I feel sorry for you my man but I'm glad that you posted this to keep others from doing the same and advising them to be careful when adding admins to their group.

    From the Facebook FAQs

    According to this there is no way that someone you made an admin could delete you as an admin. Especially if you created the group.

    Do you still have access to your FB account? Did he steal your FB account or just the Page or Community?

    Hey man, just send me a PM with basic details - Name, Age, Facebook Email, and I'll contact my friend Mike who works for Facebook Customer Support for you.

    I hope I can help, I feel sorry for you.

    Im not buying this story. If it was your group and you made him an admin he would not be able to remove your admin status.

    I know from personal experience that you can delete a group you didnt create if you are made admin as I did it once before
