    How annoying... This was on facebook...

    Good news guys, it seems that Facebook have done a bit of a cull on 'fake' accounts this last couple of days and we reckon 180 or so were recognised on our own page (now removed). This is good for you genuine guys as it means you have a far greater statistical chance of winning our weekly comps (assuming you enter). This is this weeks comp (48 hours left to enter):

    What this company fails to realise is not all the deleted accounts were held by fake account holders - many genuine people have lost their accounts too!

    Hopefully a few people will put them straight..

    Tbh if a company said that I'd be less likely to use them (and I have gone on to buy things from a few co's I've won through).

    I've Tweeted Facebook so will report back if I get a response. This was my tweet:

    Constantly being blocked & having to verify on FB. Now a 30 day ban grrr. Sort it out @Facebook I did no wrong! #thissucks #facebookban

    I wonder if this ban is big enough to get this hashtag trending :think:
    Should maybe all tweet and spread it about, word might get to someone who could do something.
    If it's happening here, in the US and AUS, then could be worth a shot, everyone firing off a few tweets.
    I did a facebook search on "facebook verify" yesterday too.
    From what I can see, there are people with trouble in Spain/Germany etc too.
