Hi, A person on a social network use sentence "Don't be manipulated with me" what this mean and is this correct grammar ? This is correct, as explained below, but it is a very unlikely meaning. I think the person meant meaning #2, but just speaks bad English.

Hi,
My advice to you is, if your interest in English is more than hanging out at a social network, then, don't be trusting anything anybody said because the main purpose of a social networks is to connect people and share ideas, and there will be people with different backgrounds and origins, level of education, and ability to command English.

Thank you for your help. Just wanted to know either it makes sense or not.

# 1 is a confusing, or even badly constructed sentence in my opinion.
"...Be manipulated ..." is a passive in nature. So if you are telling someone "don't try to manipulate me", # 1 is syntactically wrong.

The rest, Clive already explained it.
