    can big companies really confiscate our facebook page if lets say they want to take it from us because they want it and because they do have the right due to the trademark infringement?

    This is a very vague question, but they do have a right if you infringe upon their copyrights.

    so they can actually get it even when they do have their own?
    they were interested to mine because it ranks than theirs. can they actually confiscate this fb page without my authorization?

    There is no way to confiscate your page, but if you copied same contents from their page or use by similar name then there is the possibility to Hijack your page!

    We do have similar name but different URL.
    I worked for them in the past but now I'm just their affiliate and so i sell their products still. Now that they discover my page was the first to come up in the search results, they are not trying to take it.

    Can they still take it even if i add UNOFFICIAL PAGE?

    If you created the unofficial page with the same name then there is possibility to hijack because the official handlers have the full authority for that page. So better you can create a new name and make it as branded!
