Question

Migrating my old oculus account

After not using my headset for ages, I recently got an email from meta saying that my Oculus account was going to be deleted. After verifying it was not a scam I tried to migrate it, I did create a new meta account and did everything right (I think). But none of my games are visible in the meta horizons app or on the website, I can't see any of my purchases on the website. When I try to contact support I just get redirected to the AI chatbot which can't help me, when I then try get past it to contact human support I need a serial number or an order number. I do not have a serial number for my account since I gave away the headset to my sister and don't currently have access to it, and when I enter the old order number i found from 2020 it just says invalid. I did not get a confirmation email from meta or Oculus or anything saying that my account was successfully migrated. How can I stop my data from being deleted? How can I check if it was migrated successfully? How can I contact real support without a serial number? The deadline for the account migration was tonight, so I'm scared that I'm going to lose my purchases. Thanks!

    The migration of Oculus accounts to Meta was completed by the end of April 2024..After this date people received a final email with a user only code to retrieve the account after the deadline. 

    If you didn't migrate in time and don't have the access code you will not get any of your old apps back.

    I'm not saying that you didn't get a genuine email, I'm just giving you the information we have about the transfer of Oculus accounts to Meta. How did you confirm it was genuine? Be careful as you might have confirmed it with the potential scammer, not Meta.

    If you got this email recently, then it is a scam:

    The deadline for the account migration was tonight, so I'm scared that I'm going to lose my purchases.

    The actually deadline was end of March 2024.

     If you still have your purchases, your account is already migrated. As steve_40​ and Maccyb123​ said, this mail is scam. 

    I think, only people who have their Facebook and Meta accounts linked are getting these mails.🤔

    I would unlink those accounts, if I were you... immediately!

    If your Facebook account gets disabled - maybe because of clicking a link in that scam mail - your Meta account will also get disabled. Then you've lost your purchases.
