If your
facebook account is suspended this is most likely due to facebook issuing you warnings that if certain behavior is not stopped then they will suspend your account. This can be because you sent to many friend request or your account was sending malicious information out. You might not have done this willingly, but instead your account was comprised.
In some cases once you log in to your facebook you will get a notice that your account was suspended and you will need to follow the on screen prompts in order to unlock it. This is usually a verification of your personal information like date of birth, name etc.
If you do not have this option you can email
[email protected]. Include your email address that is registered on facebook in the subject line of the email. In the body of the email describe the problem you are having and they will respond back to you. This can take up to 5 days but the time varies.
Tips to prevent your account from being compromisedWhat is phishing? Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy source.
-There are a lot of phishing attempts on facebook and other scams aimed at spreading viruses and stealing personal information. Be careful when you click links on facebook that take you to other pages requesting your personal information like facebook usernames and passwords. Also, be careful when using apps, some have been phishing attempts and will request your information and permission to access your account, then it will send out malicious links to attempt to get other people involved, spreading throughout facebook.
-Do not respond to emails claiming to be from facebook requesting personal information such as your username and password. These are obvious phishing attempts.
-Always keep your anti virus programs up to day. I would also you download and install
MalwareBytes and
AVG anti virus. They are both free to use security tools and I use them.
