My FB and Twitter both got taken down last night. Am back up and running now.

The pics were a nightmare, I failed first time but cracked it the second time.

When I logged back in again I had to verify it a 3rd time and add in a mobile number.

Have added in more profile info now into my timeline now see if that stops it happening again. Have also deleted some of tagged comp pics because they were a nightmare to identify!

I think I read on another thread, you get 10 goes at trying to identify the pics. I had to wait a couple of hours after I failed first time. Hope everyone manages to get back up and running

if it's 10 goes i think i'm on borrowed time :mad:

i know a lot of my friends profile pics but i keep getting the tagged photos so it's complete guesswork hopefully i will see you all again

This has happened to me today too, I could never guess from the pics they are giving me.

I had to do the identifying pics thingy this morning. Thankfully most of the pics were of people I know in rl, so I got through that first time. I went out and when I got home this afternoon I tried to log in and and had the message that I had to enter a verification code that was to be sent to my mobile.
I got this email afterwards:
Hi (Me),We noticed that the phone number on your account, 07*** ******, was added on Monday, 11 March 2013 at 12:28.If this was you, please disregard this email.
If this wasn't you, please secure your account, as someone else may be accessing it.

Ahhhhh! I'm another one who has just got blocked. I failed the verification thing as mine were things like trousers, a necklace etc. So no hope.
Could it be a fake competition or similar then everyone who likes and shares is getting this?

In think those of you suggesting only having your own friends as a solution and/or not entering L&S comps are missing a couple valid points, firstly, I wouldnt be able to recognise a lot of my actual 'friends' on there these days, I have all my old schoolmates and workmates and have for sure forgotten some of their names over time, I also have a lot of girls who I knew by their maiden name only and are now married. The L&S thing is also a mute point as this is the common growth tool used by all apps games and businesses on facebook.

This is quite a big deal if you ask me and somebody from Facebook needs to speak up on whats happening surely?

I just got this too. I passed though because I only have friends and family on mine and don't do like and share comps x

Thanks EDC with changing my pic and taking out Mse as a middle name hopefully that will work. as long as my friends who tag me to a comp are able to find me

I have also noticed when I checked my friends list, a lot of them are blocked on there

You're right, loads of my friends' accounts are suspended too

After being blocked this morning and following Chops link I got this reply from FB:

Hi,

Thanks for contacting Facebook. You were asked to verify your identity because our security systems think you might not be using your real name or might have more than one account.

Since you weren’t able to confirm your identity using a phone number, we need you to provide a digital copy of your government-issued photo ID. Please note that we will permanently delete our record of this digital image from our servers after we resolve your issue.

The ID you attach:

- Must be government-issued (ex: passport, driver's license)
- Must be in color
- Must clearly show your full name, date of birth, and photo

If possible, please save this file as a JPEG. Black out any personal information that is not needed to verify your identity (ex: address, license number).

If you already uploaded a picture of your government-issued ID, unfortunately we will need you to attach the file again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Note that if you don’t respond with the proper identification, we won’t be able to assist you further and your request will be denied. For more information about our account standards please review our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities:

Thanks for your patience,

The Facebook Team

I replied with a scanned jpg of my passport and my mobile number number (for them to add) and I have not heard back from them.

If I am not unblocked by tomorrow morning or hear back from them I will just set up another account with a different email address - and add the MSE people I can remember (sorry if I miss you off as I have a bad memory with my condition) so I may ask for some friends again on here!

Good luck all...

This just happened to me too, luckily they the pics were all friends I knew.

Not sure if this helps but I dont have any "comping" friends as fb friends on there accept one who is also an actual friend, I am part of the winners circle however so maybe this could be a link?

Interesting thought about the Winners Circle.

So... can people who have been blocked confirm that they are (or not) members of the Winners Circle on FB please?

ETA: I am a member
