HACKER Q&A

Why do various new accounts keep getting blocked?


I've recently created a new facebook account as I needed it for facebook ads for my startup. I was never on it before. After placing the ad, I was immediately told, that the company can never post ads again without explanation.

After signing up to Stripe, verifying with my passport and selfies, they told me that the business account will be closed, stating they've "identified a high volume of unauthorized charges on your account". There have been NO charges on that account.

Twitter also blocked my account there shortly after creating it.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this? It feels like because I've had no public profile on the internet ever, I am being penalised for finally having to join to market my business.

I remember reading about new verification systems that (probably) rely to much on automated systems. At least for Facebook ads you should be able to contact some form of support. Take a look at [1] and [2].

Did you use VPN while opening of the accounts?

Spam/scam bot farms exploit residential IP addresses. If that ever happened to me I'd backup/wipe out/turn off and then store all my devices, switch to another Internet provider/phone company, buy new devices, and create new accounts on them, then sell the old devices making sure the new accounts are never linked to these. If possible I'd move to a new place in between step 1 and 2 just to make sure. That's actually my escape plan if Google ever locks me out, they do location tracking.

If you want to know why you are facing these problems please answer this simple question:

How is anyone at these major service providers supposed to distinguish between your claimed legitimate use and a fly by night spammer churning through disposable fake identities?

As you noted, you have no history or reputation. Nothing. The rest of us will gladly increase the cost of entry for you without any concern if it increases the cost for bad actors who are attempting to parasitise the system.

How much collusion do you expect between those major entities? I expect virtually none. They won't have some folder where they share 'john doe created an account, ban him on your platform'

Do you expect you've been compromised and hackers are screwing with you? I doubt it.

Flipside, what does make sense? You're on a list. Your government is the one who has decided you cannot have those accounts.

Could it be that your IP address is on some blacklist? I use this checker personally https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check
