I have only 2 real friends and the rest are compers from here. I've been asked to verify my account twice. I can see that 4 of my MSE friends have been blocked but all the others are still there, and two of them have been 'liking and sharing' all day!! (I haven't, I'm too scared) :eek:

I bet this is happening because over the last week are so their have been loads of fake FB comps springing up claiming to be genuine pages from apple/playstation ect and claiming to have 65 ipads/playstations ect, that they can't sell because they have been opened so they are going to give them away, these pages or getting thousands of like's within hours of being created, and many of them contain a link that contains malware or pay per click.

My advice would be to stop entering FB comps for the next few days and then we can all see if FB have calmed down on the clamping down of FB accounts

Anyone have any idea of what recent app comps could have caused this? I am thinking of deleting all the apps I have used in the last week - but don't really want to disqualify my entries?

They would have trouble figuring me out given the amount of random crap I've 'liked' since starting comping :rotfl:

An MSEr has posted on FB saying that it's not only MSErs or Compers, members of a bingo site has the same problem.

I know of a number of US bloggers have been affected - so it's more wide spread than just people who enter competitions in UK.

Highly doubt it's because of those pages, I think most compers would have realised they were fake straight away and not entered or liked and shared, didn't.
