My FB account was suspended due to a hackers.
I can’t appeal through Facebook! I’ve done a lot of research and can’t seem to find a quick fix! I still have access to my Instagram so paid for Meta verified and yet to get it sorted.
Has anyone else successfully got their Facebook account back? I really don’t want to lose all my memories al, pics and groups etc. It’s incredibly unfair.
Thanks guys!
Here’s an example of the problem
What's your Facebook link so that the community can try and fix your access?
Did you sell S25 Ultra in Facebook Marketplace recently?
I picked it up in a park, late the other night.
step 1: post on ozbargain ✅
Create a new Facebook account. Or just give it up.
It's facebook, they already own all you pics / groups / communications, etc whether you have access or not ;)
Having lost a FB account previously, there's no get backs within 6 months.
I actually think it's deliberate to inflate numbers tbh
They don't ban actual bots/scammers so it must have been real bad to ban a real human user.
Once Elon buys Facebook he will reinstate all banned accounts
Where will all the EV haters go then?
Not if he's on Maxwell's list he won't. (swapped in for DJT)
I'm wondering how you get suspended on FB. I've reported countless porn ads and they "don't go against community standards"
Targeted advertising! says more about you
Yeah, the targeting on dating ads is so narrow. Really zeroed in on me with my undisclosed relationship status and 18-70 age range.
I've reported ISIS groups back in the day too, same outcome.
Isis advertise? And on Facebook?
To be honest I deleted my facebook account around a decade ago. No idea what's going on there now. It was a sh1tshow back then.
Edit: Facebook, through cookies and analytics know a lot about people's browsing habits
@Bruceflix: Was a FB group, not advertising. I've advertised on FB before, even used retargeting pixels, like and share gates, group scraping, embedded webinars back when they worked…so I understand what you're saying.
They know more than that about you, such as your location, any subject you've looked at on IG/FB (down to any video/reel you have lingered on for more than a few seconds), any groups you're a member of, and all other websites you visit.
If you ever comment on an ad, even saying 'fk off', that also tells them you should see more of those ads because engagement = money.
That's the thing, ads, even from crime gangs with stolen credit cards, are their actual customers. The end user is not the customer, they are the lamb being (mentally) slaughtered for profit.
I reported hundreds of blatant crypto scams run from Bangladesh/China and they lovingly assured me none of these broke any standards at all. Which by extension means they are openly and actively agreeing that laundering the proceeds of crime is their business model.
So, I went ahead and permanently deleted my account, because they were essentially telling me that international criminal syndicates are more important to them than me and my family's safety.
I would love to see them destroyed by trillion dollar fines for everything they have done, but nothing will ever happen (unless a politician gets done by one of the scam ads, of course, which is when it will stop overnight).
This happened to me in August 2024, I ended up getting it back beginning of the year, a few days before they were going to delete my account. I used the Meta Verified method to retrieve it, if you don't have any luck, send us a message
Thanks mate
Paid meta verified service. Sounds like a scam?
My account got blocked 3 days ago. Haven't done anything bad I don't think.
Reading between the lines, they are far too busy and all appeals just get denied anyway.
Says it takes about a day. It has been 3 so far.
No clue what's going on..
This happened to me, a random insta account linked to my facebook and it got banned, no idea how they guessed the 4 digit code.
Apparently the fix was to pay for the verified Insta thing and contact support that way and they could help ?
Same thing happened to me. Couldn’t find a way to sort it. I never really used FB much but lost photos etc from 10+ years ago is a bit of a headache.

Was the first two letters of Wordle AC*** today?
Oh, must be Instagram acorn - the rest obviously don't make any sense.
I wish someone would hack and steal my FaKeBooK.
So , what did you actually do to get this free gift?
(everyone always blames hackers when their content is dodgy & they get caught out)
My account went down at random a few days ago. It says a breach of "Community standards".
Last thing I did was I pasted a link to help someone out with the usual Dyson battery that cuts out. So sent the link to homebrew BMS firmware on GitHub that stops the battery from bricking itself.
All I got was a notice saying my account will be shutdown in 180 days or 'appeal'.
Click on appeal and it wants a phone number.
Give them a phone number and it then wants a selfie.
Then it says it will take about a day to verify the account. .. it's been 4.
No other avenue.
So been looking on Reddit. Looks like they are canning accounts in mass. Basically didn't find one person who got their account reinstated.
Even brand new accounts without any content/ use are being shut down.
Some rumours around account cloning from AI/ bots. FB don't want multiple accounts of the same person. Don't know about that.
The other was data access. I don't use the app. My usage is desktop or mobile browser. The app requires access to your whole phone. But perhaps if they can't access all your data, they don't want you.
Was something about a paid verification process through Meta that may get it back. But a paid service for no reason seems like a scam / red flag.
Couldn't find anyone who really knows what's going on.
