Unusual Activity as soon CC is added (3)

Unusual Activity as soon CC is added

Hi guys

I have the issue with few FB accounts that as soon as I add a payment method, in my case CC (US CC, US residential IP, US zip code), Facebook indicates some unusual activity and asks for verification.

The specific CC is not used on any other account nor with same IP. It's just the name of CC which is different to the Facebook accounts owner name, but as far as I know that should not be a problem because FB does not ask for a name.

Any idea what can trigger an unusual activity? Happens now almost every time I try to add a CC.

I don't know if that can be the reason but I created the page and promoted it right away. Can that cause an unusual activity? Should I give it a few days after creation?

Anyone had same issues or has any experience? Would appreciate your help.

Thanks.

There are many things that Facebook takes into consideration while checking your account, and two that you have already mentioned could be the reason for them to be suspicious.

From what I've heard, the name of the CC holder and account owner should be the same. Plus, all the accounts that have been created recently, and with clear purpose of running ads are checked with double suspicion, so you'd need to hold the account for longer time. Some affiliates mention that their accounts had to "live" a normal user's life up to 6 months, but even this does not guarantee that Facebook won't detect unusual activity.

Thanks for your input. The thing is I have a business manager with that account which has 5 ad accounts in it. Separating each ad account with a CC would mean 5 different CC's and 5 different names because again if I use the same CC that it willtrigger an unusual activity too.

Thanks for the link!

Till now, I'd say its probably the issue with acting too fast. Any other ideas someone?

Cheers
