To my finding, all below are actually redirecting to Facebook.
Amazing, huh?

facebok.com
fscebook.com
facbook.com
faceboo.com
fb.com
fqcebook.com
fadebook.com
facrbook.com
faceboook.com (an extra 'o')
ffacebook.com (an extra 'f')
faccebook.com (an extra 'c')
dacebook.com
gacebook.com
facebool.com
fcebook.com

I suggest webmasters to register lookalike domain name for their sites to prevent typosquatting (or URL hijacking).
Let say you have hiree.com, I suggest it is best you register hireee.com (an extra 'e') redirects to the former URL.

Domain Registration and Renewal Fee are kind of affordable to everyone now.

Register additional domain name or even same domain name with different domain extension is a easiest way to capture more traffic, to keep stronger branding, to prevent future brand abuse at the lowest cost possible.
