Could my cousin's Facebook account have been hacked?

Common scam. Report that profile. It has happened to most people of FB.

Yes, it’s a common scam as @Blackwater_Park said. Report the profile that sent you the grant information and inform your cousin.

And technically, your cousin probably wasn’t hacked. They were cloned. Someone is pretending to be them.

Strange. Well, I am still new to that, live and learn I guess.

Go to your settings and hide your friends list. Those idiots are such a pain but it’s not hacking. Just taking your public pics for another account to get to your friends.

It’s a scam.

I stay away from FB just for this reason (among others). There are way too many SCAMS going around there. Didn’t something similar happen to you about this time last year?

@SEKA Not really, I was just getting a lot of “friend requests” from women younger than my daughter. Still get them, I learned to avoid that, but this was something different. My Cuz got scammed also. Think she got it taken care of now.
