Good afternoon, I have recently experienced issues with receiving multiple spam messages from unknown numbers on my WhatsApp account. Despite taking measures to only allow contact from known contacts, the spam messages persisted, leading to my account being suspended. This has greatly affected my job as a lorry driver, as I have lost essential contacts related to my work. I believe I have been wrongly targeted as a spammer, possibly due to being reported by others or having my account hacked. I am seeking assistance to review and restore access to my account as I am a victim and not an offender. Thank you, Tamas Orban

Dear Sir, I have carefully reviewed your terms, conditions, and privacy policy and realized that I may have unintentionally violated your rules. I acknowledge my mistake and assure you that I now understand how to use WhatsApp appropriately. The number (+91.[redacted]) in question is crucial for connecting with my close contacts. I sincerely ask you to lift the ban imposed on my official mobile number. I have been using this number for many years and commit to adhering to all your terms and conditions moving forward. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards.

Hello, WhatsApp company. I am reaching out to you regarding a very important issue. Please consider my case. My number was blocked without prior notice, and this situation is unacceptable, as I have not violated any of the WhatsApp service terms. I will not accept this ban as I haven't done anything wrong and would like to prove my innocence. I am aware of the terms of service. My perspective on the WhatsApp application has changed, and I have not come to an agreement with the app. You do not value customers. A wrongful ban must be lifted from my account as soon as possible. My case should be taken seriously as I have been unjustly treated by WhatsApp's banning system. My number ban should be lifted promptly. Otherwise, if there are further delays, I will take legal action and demand significant financial compensation as I have not broken any rules and require evidence of any alleged violations. I am a WhatsApp user since [redacted]. Therefore, I am familiar with the regulations. Please lift the ban; otherwise, you will face legal consequences. Thank you.

A few weeks ago, my account was banned. Despite requesting a review, I received no response. Subsequently, the backup number I used was also banned, displaying a message indicating I couldn't use the account anymore. I attempted to address this via the privacy policy portal, and though I received an email from WhatsApp confirming the issue was resolved, I was promptly banned again upon logging in. I have lost valuable data, currently without WhatsApp, and am experiencing ongoing difficulties due to this situation. I believe my account has not breached any terms and conditions. Please, I request prompt assistance in restoring my account without further delay.

I recently contacted your support via email, but the response did not address my specific issue. I have been blocked from using WhatsApp due to suspicious activities on my account. I suspect hackers are behind this and have been unable to regain access even after following the instructions provided for over 7 days. When trying to sign in, I received a 6-digit pin after entering my phone number but have not been able to enter my two-step authentication code. Initially, I used the code [redacted], and after changing it to [redacted] when I noticed unauthorized access attempts, I was still unable to access my account. I have attached a screenshot to this email and kindly request a review of my account to reverse any unauthorized actions taken. Thank you for your anticipated assistance.

Hello, My WhatsApp username is RamdhanBesra. I lost all my WhatsApp data because my Google Drive backup disappeared suddenly. Here's what happened: I uninstalled WhatsApp due to some missing recent messages, relying on my automated backup from Sun 5, Mar at 5:00 AM, which was supposed to be there. However, when I tried to restore my 2GB backup from my Google account "[redacted]," I encountered an error indicating no backup existed. Even my local backup in the Android folder was missing after the deletion. I asked my brother for help, but we couldn't find any backups. I wish WhatsApp could restore my chats from their servers as they are precious memories to me, just like photos and videos. Thank you. I contacted WhatsApp via email, but the response was not related to my issue. It's disappointing to see such a big company lacking personalized customer support and relying on bots to address user problems.

Hello WhatsApp Team, I am writing regarding my WhatsApp account under the legal name Kishan with the phone number +[redacted]14. I acknowledge and agree to abide by all of WhatsApp's terms and policies. However, my account was mistakenly banned even though I did not engage in any inappropriate activity on the platform. I use my account to share important educational messages, but it seems that some users have falsely reported my account, leading to its ban. As this is my official WhatsApp number, the ban has caused significant inconvenience as friends, family, and clients are unable to reach me. I kindly request that you review and consider unbanning my WhatsApp account. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I also ask for the old messages to be retrieved. I plead once more for the release of my account from the ban. I assure you that I will adhere to all your terms and privacy guidelines.

My WhatsApp account got banned due to a misunderstanding. Keeping my account banned without verifying the reason and actions taken is a mistake and arbitrary. You don't have the right to impose a penalty just because there was a suspicious event, unintentional mistake, or because someone used my account to tarnish my reputation and business. As a business owner, I have many enemies trying to create and set up accounts to hinder my work. You should assist me and give me a chance to stand up and continue working. I hope you have reconsidered my case. Apologies, thank you.

Last year in April, I was a victim of a scam by someone claiming to be Ethan Ryan who used the phone number +[redacted] 99 [redacted]. Despite blocking and reporting the account, it was not banned. I have evidence of the scam should it be required. Recently, I have received three text messages inviting me to join WhatsApp crypto investment scam groups - "Bitcoin Analysis Group 88," "Bitcoin Analysis Group 97," and "BTC investment 889groups." I am looking to report these groups without having to join them. It is important that these groups are banned to prevent others from falling victim to similar scams.

My name is Umar. I used this WhatsApp number during my 7 years in the UAE. Unfortunately, yesterday someone logged into my WhatsApp using a phone that now has my previous number. This person is currently using my WhatsApp logo and name. It is concerning that someone else is using my information wrongly. I kindly request action to be taken against this individual to either warn them or have them delete the account. Thank you.

A few weeks ago, my account was banned. I requested a review but never received a response. The temporary number I used was also banned, stating "You are not allowed to use this account anymore. Chats are still on this device." I tried to resolve the issue through the privacy policy portal and received an email saying it was resolved. However, upon logging in, I was banned again. I have lost all my important data, I am currently without WhatsApp, and I am facing numerous challenges because of this ongoing problem. My account did not violate any terms and conditions, please assist me in retrieving it promptly. This situation is extremely inconvenient.

Dear Whatsapp community, I am writing on behalf of S.G., the owner of the Whatsapp account linked to +94 [redacted] on an android device. I am reaching out to kindly request the reactivation of the WhatsApp account. A few days ago, I unintentionally ended up in an unsolicited WhatsApp group containing adult content. Today, at approximately 6:30, I received a ban notification upon trying to access my WhatsApp. I assure you that I have never engaged in any activities that violate WhatsApp's Terms of Service, such as spreading falsehoods or participating in illegal, defamatory, intimidating, or harassing behavior. There is a significant amount of work-related messages and important personal content stored in the account, and it would be greatly appreciated if my sincere apology could be acknowledged and my WhatsApp account could be reinstated. Thank you.
