FB accounts disabled - what would you do?

A few days ago I started to run ads on FB. I did that on one account I had for a year now, but was immediately banned from it after I set up the ads.

Thing is: I had a few FB accounts. I had 3 at that point. All fake names, just set up at the spur of a moment in the past to check something quickly on facebook. I had no idea it was against their TOS.

Now I know. My account got disabled and I couldn't provide an ID for that name.

So I set up a new account, this time all correct and legal, my own name (in case it would happen again). I wen to the trouble of deleting an emailaddress from another fb account, so I could use that emailaddress in this new one. (Which is bad I know, I effectively left a trace, and 'linked' the fb accounts.)

So in this fresh facebook account I set up a campaign... and got disabled soon after that. I gave them a copy of my ID, but they replied "we will not be able to reactivate this account".

On top of that I have 2 computers, and I have used both to access fb accounts.

Do you know how I could run paid traffic again?

It looks to me, if I run ads through any of the other fb accounts I have still left, that they will be disabled too.

Deleting all my fake accounts is an option too. I'm happy to do that. But that would leave a trace again.

I just wanna start fresh.

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks!

    You did a lot of mistakes and Also ran out of many options. You should wait for a while, think good and then create another FB account.

    What did you do to get blocked? I have more than 15 FB accounts with almost 5,000 friends each on them and I never get blocked.

    It can be a problem only if you run paid advertisements, that have to be under your own name. But if you own other accounts, that can't be the reason for blocking.

      What did I do?
      I don't know, honestly. This mess started when I started running ads on one account. This account I used daily. But as soon as I put ads on...bam.
      My guess is that it's because I logged in on that account on two computers in a short time span.

    What if I create a new account with the same name - my real name (and with the same credit card), but with a different emailaddress and created from a different computer (thus with a new IP address).

    And at the same time I would delete my fake accounts (or at least run them only through a proxy).

    Would that work?
    Anyone have ideas on this?

      FB is notorious for shooting first and asking questions later. I've even read their complete TOS and had ads blocked with no apparent reason.

    It is good for users but bad for grey hat marketers.
