Facebook disabled me

Discussion in 'Facebook' started by Blogspotter, Nov 7, 2009.

    I opened a FB account yesterday, to advertise a FB group.
    Unfortunately I used a fakename, since I didn't want to associate my name with the group.

    I then used FB advertising and entered my CC details with my real name for advertising...

    My Account name and CC name didn;t match

    is that why the account was disabled?
    What do I do?

    have you come across such thing?

    I haven't encountered anything like that yet (and hopefully won't) but it could be the reason why FB disabled your account.

    I cant see that being the reason. I used their advertising last year with my real info, but my FB account is completely fake without any matching information at all. Of course things may have changed since last year...

    I think FB is cracking down like everyone else. I think they may go overboard trying to prevent spam...can't say I blame them - but the innocent gets hurt in the process.

    Hi

    I think you should contact facebook and let them know that you want to advertise, but you can not login may be your account is disabled and they will help you for sure. I hope that idea will help you.

    I think you should create new account with same name with your credit card's name and retry. It's the fastest way.

    I'm amaze with facebook, they really have a fast response if you do something malicious. If you think you that you are in a right position, contact their support and ask your problem.

    Just contact them this has happen to a couple of people I know. They had to contact facebook to get things straight. So I think you should just contact them.

    Stick with your fake name in the communication and once you know what the real reason is, IF it was related to the CC tell them a friend was buying the advertising for you. I got my account disabled for using too many bulk email lists for people who wanted large alliances for various games. If you're not too attached to your account just make a new one. Facebook currently isn't banning people. They just ban accounts. Make a new account and try not to get in trouble again.

    It's not innocent if you are misrepresenting yourself. In their eyes, "What are you hiding from?" and "Why can't you use your real name?".
    Spammer do things like that.
