Credit card from UK but logging in from another country

Dear FB Vets

I'm a bit confused about how to setup my account so as not to get flagged or shut down. I'm only running white hat campaigns, mostly boosted posts on my fan page.

- Do i create a fan page and then create a BM account and add my credit card to the BM account. Or do i add the credit card to my personal account and then just ad the BM account?

- Also, i'm living in the Philippines but my bank is in the UK. Will this raise a flag once i add my 'UK' credit card? I've been using my personal account from the Philippines for the past 4 years if that would make a difference. And if it does get flagged, is that it or is it savable by contacting facebook and explaining my circumstances?

- I will also be promoting someone elses fan page. Would i simply add that person to my BM account?

- Will using a 9+ year aged personal account instead of creating a new personal account, make a difference in facebook flagging or closing my account for arb reasons?

- This fan page is my actual business fan page and i will be boosting posts and building engagement and likes, so it's not as simple as just creating a new account if it gets banned.... i would lose all that engagement and branding. I.e. i can't just create a new account like affiliate promoting offers off facebook. Now if facebook decides to shut down my account, is it the Fan Page that gets shut down or my personal account or fan page? What is a way to protect the fan page if i've already spent a lot of money promoting it? Are there any other tips you can suggest for my specific circumstances to not lose my account?

Thanks in advance, appreciate it!

You'll get locked, just submit your ID + Credit Card Bill with Home Adress and they'll unlock you in 1-2 days.

Hey thuglife, thanks for the reply.

I've got another company Director in the UK where the bank account is. Would it maybe be better to have her signup for the BM account and then add me as a user? Thanks

That is definitely more HQ solution, but there is still chance for ID verification.

If your campaigns are truly whitehat and your accounts are under your own name, you have nothing to worry about!

Facebook are reasonable. We know of a few instances where they have actually reinstated accounts running cloaked/blackhat campaigns. If you're running whitehat campagins you will be fine - don't worry. All the talk around fb and bans on these forums is usually down to rebill ads/negative response/users using shared network tracking links.
