    You should also change your password and implement the "login approvals" option.

    If you are using the same password on your e-mail accounts make sure to change those to something different as well.

    FB says it suspects I'm not using my own name and says Facebook is a community where people use their real identities.

    So my account is suspended. Anyone else get this?

    Are you using your real name? No added special chars?

    Well there's your problem. It's a real name environment.

    Does your name look like a real name?

    You might be able to reactivate your account by verifying it i.e adding a mobile number.

    If your FB name is a real name, e.g. "John Edward Smith" then it should just work no bother.
    If your FB name is not a real name, e.g. "John €dward $mith**" or something "weird" then FB will react.

    I would hate to give them more info about me e.g. a mobile phone number.
