    I thought maybe I was lucky and missed all this but just tried to get on facebook using my laptop and I had been kicked off asked to verify my identity by picture questions.
    Although this is my first time and I was lucky to guess them right I don't understand why after verifing your identity once why people have been kicked off facebook several times. How many times does a person need to be kicked off and pass the test before they realise they are a real person?

    i haven't used my face book for about 2 weeks, logged on today and entered 3 comps via apps before i was blocked! i couldn't match any photos to names because all of the photos where pictures of items that people have obviously tagged themselves in so no clue what so ever of who they belong to. I can't get in at all now so will wait until the morning and if it's not sorted then i'm setting up a new one, i've had the same fb account for over 12 months and it's the only one i use.

    I haven't been blocked and I have over 800 comping friends. I don't do facebook comps very often but I do the like and share ones from time to time. Obviously my profile doesn't trigger an alert but my name is not real. My picture is not of a person and I have never met nor spoken to even one of my facebook comping friends.

    There is no MSE in my facebook name - could this be the giveaway for some of you?
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    I'm also a member of winners circle but haven't as yet been blocked but I have noticed I haven't been able to tag anyones name in there last few days.
    Also...jambodaveprince, I sent some suggested friends for those who are on my fb list as I noticed you lost your friends too. (hope that's ok with suggested friends!)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    No MSE in my name, ever.

    There doesn't seem to be any key link to anyone being forced to undertake a security check aside from the fact that the majority of them appear to be compers.
  • I'm deleting lots of 'likes' in case I'm triggering something there.

    No MSE in my name either.

    All I can think is that we have all entered a comp that has been reported and as we were in the comp we have all been booted out.

    As i said i did all security tests tiday inc phone code twice, it just went on and on, then a 30 day ban, I hadnt enetered anything comp wise since the first security question and it still went on to ban me.

    Im going abroad in 2 weeks and really wanted my account to keep in touch, its a real account with real name etc with real friends on it.
