FB Freezes? Don’t Panic, Fix It!

If you’re running ads on FB, sooner or later, you’ll face a freeze – money stuck, ad accounts paused, support clueless. The usual reasons: too fast scaling, flagged payment method, frequent edits, or FB simply deciding you’re a fraudster. Let’s break down how to avoid this mess and what to do if you’re already in it.

Why does FB freeze accounts?

1️⃣ Aggressive creatives – if your offer is borderline non-compliant, FB will shut it down immediately.
2️⃣ Payment issues – new card, sudden large deposits, suspicious BIN codes – FB gets nervous.
3️⃣ No warm-up – if you max out the limit on a fresh account, FB will flag you as fraud.
4️⃣ Frequent edits – changing budgets, testing tons of creatives and offers? FB detects it and freezes your balance.
5️⃣ Cheap proxies/VPNs – logging in from 10 different IPs per day? FB thinks you’re hacked.

How to avoid getting frozen? 🥶

Warm up the ad account – start with white-hat campaigns and increase budgets gradually.
Don’t touch your payment method randomly – FB loves stability.
Use high-quality proxies – mobile/residential, no free junk.
Scale smoothly – +10-20% per day is fine, not 2x overnight.

What to do if FB already froze your account?

1️⃣ Check the account quality – the root cause is usually there.
2️⃣ Payment issues? Try a different card or top up your balance.
3️⃣ Appeal to support – sometimes they unlock, but it’s 50/50.
4️⃣ If it’s RIP, move on – get a new account, warm it up, and keep running.

If you don’t want to deal with farming, rent agency ad accounts – they’re pre-warmed, last longer, and come with replacements or refunds if needed.

FB blocked you? Who cares. Get a new account and keep scaling! 🚀
