Overview of Rocket Dollar's Challenge
Client: Rocket Dollar
Industry: Financial Services / Self-Directed Retirement Accounts
Challenge: Lost access to Instagram and Facebook business accounts
Solution: Social Retrieving’s Comprehensive Account Recovery Service

Background on Rocket Dollar
Rocket Dollar is dedicated to helping individuals take control of their retirement savings. They offer self-directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s. As their customer base expands, the need for digital engagement grows. Rocket Dollar relied heavily on platforms like Instagram and Facebook to connect with clients. They used these channels to share valuable financial insights and promote educational content.
In early 2024, Rocket Dollar faced a serious setback. They lost access to both their Instagram and Facebook business accounts due to a suspicious login. This triggered security lockdowns, leading to a significant communication barrier. Despite their efforts, Rocket Dollar struggled to regain access. They followed Meta’s standard recovery procedures but encountered numerous obstacles. Automated systems and dead-end forms made the process frustrating. Moreover, direct support access seemed impossible.
In this challenging situation, Rocket Dollar reached out to Social Retrieving.
The Challenge of Account Disruption
Losing access to key social accounts is more than a technical issue. For Rocket Dollar, it meant:
Damaged brand credibility
Interrupted customer support through direct messages (DMs)
Loss of control over advertisements and valuable content archives
Increased risk of impersonation or phishing if accounts remained compromised
Rocket Dollar made multiple appeals through Meta’s help center but saw little progress. As weeks went by, frustration only intensified.
The Solution Offered by Social Retrieving
Social Retrieving came in with a detailed recovery plan. Their approach was methodical and targeted:
Audit & Verification: The first step involved confirming ownership of the accounts. This was done through internal vetting, gathering necessary business credentials, and documenting all previous communication attempts with Meta.
Escalation via Verified Channels: Social Retrieving utilized their proprietary network and verified support channels with Meta. They escalated Rocket Dollar’s case beyond the automated systems that had previously hindered their progress.
Brand Protection & Monitoring: While the recovery process unfolded, Social Retrieving took proactive measures. They monitored Rocket Dollar’s brand name across Meta platforms. This was crucial to ensure that no impersonation or suspicious activity occurred during the recovery phase.
Account Restoration: In just 10 business days, both the Instagram and Facebook accounts were fully restored. Rocket Dollar regained complete admin privileges, allowing them to resume their digital engagement strategies.
The Importance of Human Support in Digital Recovery
Rocket Dollar's experience serves as a reminder of a prevalent issue many growing brands face. Although platforms like Meta offer powerful tools for engagement, they often lack adequate human support when problems arise. Automated systems can prove to be barriers rather than solutions.
In times of crisis, having access to human expertise can make all the difference. Social Retrieving filled that essential gap by providing direct access to knowledgeable support. This ensured Rocket Dollar's recovery was not only efficient but also stress-free.
Key Takeaways for Brands
Plan for Communication Disruption: Brands relying on social media must have a contingency strategy for potential disruptions. This foresight can help in swift recovery.
Seek Expert Assistance Early: Engaging with professionals at the first sign of trouble can save time and resources. Waiting too long may lead to compounded challenges.
