Never Delete Your Facebook Account!
- Thread starter Aequitas
- Start date
Well got my fake profile all hooked back up using a fresh email address, a fake TV Celebrity name, added a few people then stopped over the last few days people have been adding me so that's a bonus, let the page I'm going to advertise sit with a few posts, images, ect... on it.
Now I'll be getting a fresh pre-paid credit card today sometime and I'm going to try to advertise tonight sometime and we'll see if I get banned.
What I'm worried about is I'm using a blatantly obvious fake TV Show personality, I'm using my same IP address as before when my old accounts were banned and I've only let the account age for 3 days.
I've done this to attempt to narrow down what indicators Facebook uses to ban your account with, my theory at the moment is its a combination of your payment method, linked to your address, linked to your name and maybe your IP address but your IP address holds a lot less weight so we'll see.
I'll let you guys know if this account gets to be operational or just goes straight into the gutter right out the gates. If it goes into the gutter straight out the gates than I'll have to actually put in some effort and let a profile with proper fake credentials age for awhile and look more natural than the ones in the past.

If you keep disabling and reenabling your account (what they refer to as "delete" even though they never really delete your account, since they give you an option to restore it afterwards) they will lock you out for like 48 hours before you can restore your account.
I know some people say to just not log in, and just de-friend and block others, but the other issue is that your data is still showing up to other people on Facebook, such as pages you've liked, comments you've made - if you don't want your posting and commenting and like history lingering out there, you need to have an option to delete all your activity - simply not logging in doesn't solve that.

Not true, you probably don't know there are 2 ways Facebook deals with this, the most common way is to deactivate your account, a deactivated account can be reactivated in the future. The other way is with a deleted account and after 14 days without logging in your account is permanently deleted.
You see most people deactivate thinking its a deletion by going into your Facebook settings, Clicking the Security Tab, and at the bottom there is an option to deactivate, that is a deactivation NOT a deletion. 99% of people think this is the only way to rid yourself of your Facebook account, that isn't true.
To do a true account deletion you have to go to https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account and fill out the information (enter in your password, bla bla bla).
That method is a true deletion the help page is at https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674 this method deletes your account fully after 14 days with no chance of reactivating it, the other method you can re-activate whenever you want.
Big differences with the two that always gets confused.
Who would have thought that this would have been flagged for fraud? Thanks for sharing your story with us so the rest of us don't ever make this same mistake.
You sir are 100% correct, but I obviously expected that to happen as well hahaha.
On a side-note I also decided to fight back with my legit account and opened up an additional support thread and posted a shit ton of verification information with everything and anything I could toss at them.
Turns out my account was not banned (so to speak) just disabled because they detected some fraudulent activity with my credit card information and they requested additional information that I just sent off this morning.
So fingers crossed, there is actually still hope I can regain full control over my legit account. I'm being optimistic and hoping Facebook is smart enough to realize nothing fraudulent has occurred. I've always made my payments in full and on time.
Plus I double checked my own account to make sure there were no unexpected charges, which there weren't so I also explained that to the security team. Again being optimistic and have begun to think that I may still have a chance to avoid the blackhat/grayhat trail of dispaire and stick with my whiterhat methods of advertising haha
This is how I treat all my interactions with big corporations when I don't get what i want the first time. Especially with the likes of Movistar (Telefonica) here in Spain who have notoriously bad customer support. Hang up, wait a minute, call back and get a different person on the phone. Repeat as necessary until you get the right answer.

Good sharing..... What is the point deleting anyway ? nothing has been deleted so you can still reactivate after such a long time.

The purpose is lazyness instead of deleting and blocking certain people on a large list it's easier and usually faster to just wipe the slate clean and start over.
Alright what the fuck Facebook. I get my account back what a week or two ago and I advertise some white hat shit had 1 ad disapproved, paused the campaigns cause I went out of town.
Came back to kick things up again the day before last and guess what, my account has been frozen for the EXACT SAME FUCKING PAYMENT ISSUE BULLSHIT it was just re-activated for. Needless to say I tossed my info back at them.
What the fuck Facebook, now there just fucking with me or someone is fucking with my credit card information over there even though I still haven't noticed any fraudulent activity on my end.

Zuckerberg rolled out a new policy for advertisers.
Go to my account, find billing, click that.
On the payment page.
There is the little checkbox.
It must be checked.
It reads:
Are you committed to success? [x]
....
(Try loading FB on a brand new, ~$100 tablet, disable wifi first. Get a mobile internet plan from VM for like $30/m). Use Paypal as the payment, make a new account if needed, change personal information/run as business name, doesn't have to be real. Add bank account to PP. If that fails, open a new/separate bank account, try again.) (If you're running ads to the same domain/links, it's prob pretty obv. Could be on a domain BL. If all else fails, pay someone else to run your ads..)

Facebook got stricter.
But you don't have to go through what you've been through when all you have to do is unfriend and customize your newsfeed. Uh.. there's also an "unfollow" option.

Start a business that doesn't rely on people not figuring out what kind of bullshit you're tricking facebook fuckeroonies into clicking on from one week to the next.
You probably should of read the original post there was no trickery I just deleted my account and started one up again. Everything else was white hat, until they basically banned my account. Still for no good reason.
