    Having a second FB account is against FB terms and conditions anyway.

    Lots of people have reported that they are getting bans as FB are cracking down on people who are spamming. It's best to just stick to the one account and the competitions that require Apps.

    As far as I know, you are not allowed to use FB for just comps, you have to have an account thet shows interaction with 'friends' and not just comp posts. Hope this helps

  • I assumed it would not be allowed but it is not linked as uses separate e-mail addy etc
    It's disappointing as there are loads of comps on fb but i would not use my own account for them because then i would be spamming my real friends!
    Thanks guys :)

    Hi Ker1984

    Whole thread on the subject here.

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4372757

    I got handed a ban in December. Since it has been lifted I have carried on as normal, my comping behavior has not changed and no further ban?
    I think what triggered my ban was that my sister logged me out of FB and logged in on her own account on my PC, when I logged back in as myself I got the ban notice.

    There is nothing you can do to 'resolve' it - just have to sit it out sorry :(
  • You don't want to spam your real friends but this is what they want from you, at the end of the day it's all about money,
    wait 30 days, make comping friends, play one of fb games do everything to make this account look like real.
