Facebook Warning on Comp accounts

I just clicked to do the daily Vileda comp on Facebook where it prompted me to log in, on doing so my account has been suspended for suspicious activity :mad: and now I can't get into it at all, I know this has happened to one other clicking into do the vileda daily so whether it's been hacked and I've just given my fb page details away I don't know. But if you are friends with me on fb my name was Mse Freefan, please don't click any link that is posted up from today on as it definately isn't from me.
I've now opened another fb account to keep my addiction going :)

    Can you get onto the comping facebook page? My wife had a similar problem and had to validate the account using a different phone number.

    It may be worth a try so you don't lose out on the ones you have already entered.

    I also had my account suspended today but was able to validate it with my dob and had to use a new password.

    Hubby said it would probably have been one of the comp pages that I go on. I have been doing Vileda every day and had already done it this morning so maybe that was the cause.

    Thanks for the warning, I'm not very good with facebook, does this mean we should avoid the Vileda site for a while?

    Make sure you don't enter the email address for your real FB in the comps on your comping FB. I think that's why they suspended my OH's

    I can't seem to re activate it as it's wanting me to confirm which of my friends is in the photo's with 6 choices for who it is and with 700 odd comping friends it's impossible as I've no idea who is who lmao, but yeh definately from the vileda daily comp :)

    and thanks to everyone who has accepted me on fb with my new account xx

    I had this a few weeks ago and had to identify people from their photos. I just kept refreshing and guessing until I got it right. Good luck. I am sure I had to put a phone number in as well but I can't remember.

    I didn't enter the vileda comp after seeing your post but it still happened to me when I went onto the vue daily comp, I've only got 200 odd friends so managed to confirm the photos.

    Facebook have been cracking down on duplicate accounts, and those that are not in a real name.
