Just wondering if any of you have had this situation-- Friday evening, all of a sudden, I couldn't access Facebook. They said they wanted proof of my ID. Saturday, my DH was able to send them proof (passport with some information crossed out). As of this morning, I still can't get on Facebook, which also prevents me from some other on-line activities. They keep saying they'll permit me back on after verifying my identity, but it hasn't happened yet. If this has happened to any of you, how long did it take before you could access Facebook again?

AM I assume you went straight to FB and they gave you the info to provide directly to them. If not you may have bigger issues than facebook.

Our company can take up to 72 hours to verify ownership and FB has a huge audience so I would expect that at a minimum. You can always check with them on their expected turn around time.

Thanks, AM. Yes, DH went straight to FB and posted the information they requested. He is VERY good about checking the source of strange requests. It's been Sat., Sun., Mon., now, and I'm missing being able to participate in not only Facebook, but other on-line activities. Rats! Thanks for letting me know it can take up to 72 h...See More

Keith I am very decent with technology and can smell a scam from a mile away. With that said, I had the same issue happen to me. Usually what triggers it is either an old friend reporting that they do not know you, or that you have information that seems off a little bit.

With that said, I had the same issue happen to me. Usually what triggers it is either an old friend reporting that they do not know you, or that you have information that seems off a little bit. In my case, I went by a different last name than my real name in order to hide myself from students. I had used it for a long time. One of my friends that I fell out of touch with saw one of my posts, did not recognize the name and reported me as they noted that my pictures did not match my name. I sent a copy of my ID with only the State, Name and picture not blacked out. Facebook forced me to change my name to my real last name and all was good again. They did not like the use of a pen name. Here is some information about it, albeit from Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_real- name_policy_controversy
