They can use the option that says something like "impersonating someone else". You'll be contacted by FB to confirm, then they'll remove it. They're usually pretty quick.

That another acct has my phone # listed as their own.

I went to change my password and usually use my email to receive the code needed for ID , but one time used my phone -# to receive code via text. I received the code #’s and changed my password. But then started receiving texts and email in Farsi (?) about changing my password.
And a second acct appeared on my app to login to. 😐

Reported several times and never had any reply about it.
Changed my password using email for codes after that. But can’t get the 2nd acct off my app

✌🏻
