Mike Brewer names and shames ‘scumbags’ who hacked his Facebook as he calls on Wheeler Dealer fans to help get revenge
MIKE Brewer has publicly named and shamed “scumbags” who hacked his Facebook account and have been tormenting him for months.
The Wheeler Dealer host has called on his fans to help get revenge after hackers posted a series of “lurid” images on his page.
Mike was left seething when he discovered the social media channel had been used to post pornographic content to his army of more than 800,000 followers.
Since the account was hijacked three months ago Mike has still not managed to regain control.
In a new post on X, former Twitter, Mike has exposed the account names of “scumbags” who stole his page as he asked Meta for help.
He said: ” Hi All, these are the scumbags that have stolen the Wheeler Dealer Facebook page.
“Everytime I get access they regain control and remove me. If anyone has an idea how to get these arseholes back, please let me know.
“Meta/Facebook if you can please help and delete these hackers.”
The host’s loyal fans have flocked to the comments to offer their help and advice.
Most fans have referred Mike to account recovery specialists who helped them get their social media pages back in the past.
Some have recommended switching to two-factor authentication or ditching the page completely to start a new one.
Others have sympathised with the TV star, sending messages of support.
One person wrote: ” Mike – these people are vile and twisted to get a “kick” out if doing this.”
Another one said: “So sorry about that… Happened to me a while back. I understand how that must feel …. Lucky for me I just recently got mine back. Hope you get yours soon.”
A third person jokingly commented: “Have you tried swapping out the clutch, improving the radiator and doing a spot of welding around the windscreen? Always worked for you before.”
The petrolhead has previously apologised to his followers for the “foul” images that are being posted on his account’s story function each day.
He said he had no hope of ever getting his page back as Meta continues to ignore his pleas for help.
He believes this is because they receive hundreds of thousands of hacked accounts per day and “you have to be a politician or a world leader” to be taken seriously.
Mike said: “Because I’m nobody, I’m in amongst the 350,000 every single day why should I take preference?”
He continued: “The scumbags who stole it are just after money and clickbait and there’s nothing I can do about it.
“They’re completely in control, I can’t turn it off, I can’t turn it over I can’t get it back it’s completely gone.”
Mike explained how other fraudsters are now trying to take advantage of the situation and claim they can re-hack the account and get it back.
The motor expert continues to post on other platforms like X and Instagram.
This comes as Mike’s wife has joked the Wheeler Dealer’s host is having a midlife crisis as he’s flogging his gorgeous cars.
Michelle Brewer has revealed that her husband is selling some vintage classics from his stunning collection.
In order to mark the launch of Wheeler Dealer’s spin-off series, the TV star is prepared to bid farewell to two of his beloved Porsches.
The new programme will land on screens on April 29, and is set to document the team’s global travels, hunting down some of the best and most interesting cars on the planet.
