Story of my Fb Account getting disabled
Imagine this: you’re out with your friends, having a good time at your local hangout. You’re chatting, laughing, and enjoying a couple of drinks. As the night winds down and you bid your friends goodbye, you reach for your phone, feeling it buzz in your pocket.
You unlock your phone and see a flood of messages from Facebook. They’re all about your password being changed. You’re confused and worried. Did someone hack into your account? You try to stop the password change, but it doesn’t work. Panic starts to set in.
You think, “Could this be a scam?” It all seems so sudden and strange. You decide to log in to Facebook to see what’s going on. But instead of your usual feed, you’re greeted with a message saying your account has been suspended. Apparently, something went wrong with your Instagram account, which was linked to your Facebook.
You try logging in from both your phone and your computer, but no luck. Your account is completely inaccessible. On your computer, it flat out says your account is disabled. You feel helpless and frustrated.
In a last-ditch effort to figure out what’s happening, you ask a friend to log in and check your profile. But when they do, they deliver the worst news: your profile is gone. Every post, every photo, everything you ever shared on Facebook is vanished.
You feel like you’ve lost a piece of yourself. All those memories, gone in an instant. Pages and groups you created are wiped out. Even events you planned have disappeared. It’s like a part of your life has been erased.
Thankfully, you don’t rely on Facebook for business, but if you did, it would be a devastating blow. All that hard work, all those connections, gone. And worst of all, the memories you cherished, the ones you looked forward to seeing pop up on your timeline year after year, are gone too.
It’s a harsh reality to face, but it serves as a reminder of the fragility of our digital lives. We put so much trust and reliance on these platforms, only to have it all taken away in an instant. It’s a sobering lesson in the importance of backing up our data and staying vigilant against online threats.
What did i do after discovering that my Fb account has been disabled?
After realizing my Facebook account was disabled, I tried to find a way to contact Facebook for help. I looked everywhere, but there was no phone number or direct way to talk to someone at Facebook. All I found were forms on Facebook’s help page. Some articles I read were worrying, saying my account could be deleted permanently if it wasn’t fixed within 30 days. At first, it seemed like my account was only temporarily suspended, but the thought of losing everything scared me.
I tried using the “Report a Problem” link on my profile, but it didn’t work because I couldn’t log in.
I found some email addresses on web and sent some messages out requesting help. We sent to email to these:
- disabled@fb.com
- appeals@fb.com
- support@fb.com
- platformcs@support.facebook.com
- abuse@fb.com
However, none of them replied.
Some friends suggested that there are experts who can help recover hacked accounts. I decided to give it a try. One friend knew someone named Hacker Johnson who might be able to help. I reached out to him, and he responded quickly. He asked a few questions about the account and then explained the complicated program he would use to fix it and how long it would take.

But then came the catch: he wanted $150 or Rs 10000 upfront to buy a tool to do the job. This raised red flags for me. It didn’t seem right. The software he mentioned didn’t seem necessary for the task at hand, making it clear it was probably a scam targeting people in desperate situations like ours. I decided to stop communicating with him and ended up blocking him after he continued to bother us for days.
Looking back, the whole experience was frustrating and made me feel powerless. It’s a reminder of how important it is to protect our online accounts and information. From now on, I’ll be more careful about who I trust with my personal data.

FAQs on Disabled Fb account recovery:
Q. My Facebook account has been disabled. Can i make a new Fb account?
A. If your Facebook account gets disabled permanently, Facebook’s official rules say you’re not allowed to make a new one. However, I understand that sometimes Facebook might disable accounts by mistake. If you really miss Facebook and want to stay connected with your friends and family, pay close attention to the following advice.
Don’t rush to make a new Facebook account from the same computer or with the same internet connection and phone number. Doing this increases the risk of your new account getting disabled too. I’ve seen it happen many times!
For the best chance of keeping a new account safe, only make one under these conditions:
- Use a VPN or a different IPs than the one you had before. For example, you could use a friend’s Wi-Fi that you’ve never used before.
- Use a different computer or phone. It should be a device that’s never logged into your old account. Maybe borrow a friend’s device that you haven’t used before.
- Get a new phone number and a new email address that you didn’t use with your old Facebook account.
Remember, you only need to use these things (VPN, new system/device) when creating your new account. After that, you don’t have to keep switching.
Q. My Facebook account was permanently disabled and hence, I filed a Appeal. However, my appeal was rejected. Can i recover my account now?
