Permanently banned in 60 minutes with a "Ghost Appeal" I never filed.

Permanently banned in 60 minutes with a "Ghost Appeal" I never filed.

**The Timeline (all within about an hour):**

Mail #1 (14:00): Received an email saying my account is suspended because I violated Terms of Service regarding "who can use Facebook." It said I had 180 days to appeal.

Mail #2 (14:01 - literally one minute later): A second email stating my Advertising Access is restricted due to "misleading behavior" or "business asset violations."

Mail #3 (15:00): I get a final email saying: "The decision on your review request is negative. Your account is permanently disabled. You requested a review, but we still found violations. This decision is final."

*The thing is I never requested a review. I hadn't even opened the first email before the "final decision" was made.*

Technical Context:

No Login Alerts: My 2FA didn't trigger, and there are no "unauthorized login" emails.

Security: My email is secure, and my PayPal shows no weird charges.

When I try to log in, I get the "We disabled your account" message with only one option: Download Your Information. There is no button to appeal.

seems like i got hacked in some way, maybe session hijacking, already formatted my pc. what can i do?
