  no, they will ask for proof, they will be like “ohh that’s weird, let me see if I can fix it”

    I can’t seem to upload images, but if you image-search for:

    “we’ve completed our review and found this account’s activity goes against whatsapp’s terms of service”

    You will find screenshots you can download and use as fake proof that you are banned.

    When I had to contact Facebook to get an account unlocked, they took about a month to respond to each email, and never did unlock the account no matter how much proof I sent them. I expect WhatsApp is similar, since it’s owned by the same company. So just say that they hardly respond, and they say things they’ve already said, ask you to try things you’ve already tried, or they ask for documents you’ve already sent them.

    Why were you banned? Maybe you accidentally signed in on a phishing page, and they sent spam using your account. Maybe you created an account, and your first action was to contact a person you hadn’t contacted before (obviously), and it was marked as spam. Maybe you signed up on an IP address previously used by a spam-sending datacenter (this happened a lot to me at my old house). Maybe your phone number was banned from WhatsApp before you got it, but you already gave it to too many people to be able to change it.

    If somebody said that to me, I’d do my best to find a polite way to tell them to fuck off.

    But, since you’re situation is, you know, not mine, can you get away with, “Oh, I deleted it, and I’m out of data right now,” or some similar kind of deflection?
