Error ban, I need to review

Hello this is a complaint about my EA game apex account being wrongfully blocked. The record shows that my game account broke the rules in the game on June 15. Today, on the 16th, I came to play again but found that my game account had been banned by EA. I had heard that it would be banned by mistake. But I still feel shocked and incomprehensible when it happens to me! You can check out my previous gaming experience (in-game name: professional work) without using any assistive tools, and all three of my apex friends were banned. This point I feel very unhappy, not at the same time, but are banned within this month, perhaps you can re-examine your company's Ban Process Business At the same time I am also very active in the maintenance of the environment in the game, you can see I also report illegal acts. In China, there are many people playing games under the public network. Sometimes, they will change internet cafes in different cities or different internet cafes in the same city. There are also individual players who use illegal software to destroy the atmosphere of the game, causes EA to disable this IP address. Or be stolen someone else's account password login to the game to hang (this is also very common in those of us who often play in Internet cafes, will use the account of these normal players to hang up, and sometimes will be stolen from our game of equipment transactions) on this basis, I think this is a way of slacking off, for us, at least, it was a no-brainer not to scrutinize our game, just to see that the IP address was as banned as the person who had broken the rules. Isn't that a simple, wrong choice You can not even be sure that we are playing, and there are many players because of the system failure was wrongly banned feel unfair treatment, why did not cheat the saboteur title So join the ranks of these players, who are much more in the lower ranks than in the higher ranks, often with apex leaving only seven or eight teams of players before the first poison circle is cleared, please re-examine our game records, as soon as possible to restore our normal players game experience thank you. It was written at 5:48 am in Zhongshan, China, on a terrible night.  I don't know if my account has been stolen password login game hang or be judged by the system as the system code to block... I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, thank you

    First off, let me start by saying welcome to EA’s “Answer HQ”.
    Answer HQ isn't just an ordinary message board or support center. It's a new approach to our community experience and a fun way of helping other players or getting answers (from players & experts) and get back in the game!


    To move forward on this, contact the nice folks over at account disputes, they can investigate:
    https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/information-about-locked-or-banned-or-suspended-accounts/

    I'm sorry for your (yours and your three friends') unpleasant experience, but there's no other way than to contact the TOS team.

    Also, if you think your account got hacked, please check out these guidelines:

    Where you using an internet cafe's hardware to login and play Apex? Internet cafe's are not safe. If yes here are some tips below. 

    Account Safety

    How to keep your account and hardware safe 101:

    1. Use strong passwords for you game account.
    2. Use strong passwords for the associated E-mail account. Keep track of your e-mail accounts and what they are connected to.
    3. Do not share either of these passwords with others. Keep note of your passwords in a safe place.
    4. Enable two factor identification for both the game and associated E-mail accounts.
    5. Do not let others use your game account (Friends and family alike) because if they do something wrong on your account it is still your fault, nobody wants to have a sanction on their account because somebody else did or said something wrong.
    6. Do not use internet café’s to access your account and play, you do not know what software is on the hardware there, you do not know if the hardware at the cafe has a hardware ban and this can affect your account in a negative way.
    7. I would suggest only accessing your account with your own trusted hardware, gaming on another person’s hardware brings some of the same risks as above.
    8. I would also suggest not letting others use your hardware in order to play with their account, because if they get a hardware ban on your hardware while using it, it can have a negative affect on your account.
    9. Buying used hardware comes with risks as well. The hardware could have been banned and this is not an EA problem but a problem between the buyer and the seller. 
    10. Play nice with others, in other words do not de-mean, harass or bully others in Chat or over voice coms, both can be reported and that can also have a negative effect on your account.
    11. Use non-offensive user/gamer tag/club tags, if you get a warning about such change it, doing otherwise can lead to a negative effect on your account.
    12. Play fair, boosting and teaming are cheating.
    13. Play fair using cheating software or hardware is not fair and is really only cheating yourself.
    14. Do not buy and or sell accounts, do you really know what has been done with the account? What cyber info are you giving up? What risk is there that the account is bunk. What is the risk to your hardware?
    15. Re-read the Terms of Service agreement and the Terms of Sale agreement you agreed to play this game and adhere to it. https://www.ea.com/legal/user-agreement and https://www.ea.com/legal/terms-of-sale

    About points 7, 8, and 9, I do know that not everyone can afford multiple hardware setups for the entire family and there is trust that has to be there, talking about the does and don’ts on the use of shared hardware should be done so everybody can enjoy what they do on the hardware and everyone can be safe.

    If you believe you have been hacked take appropriate measures to secure your account and associated E-mail account https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/secure-hacked-ea-account/

    If you believe that a sanction (Suspension/Ban) placed on your account was by mistake you should reach out to the Terms of Service team https://help.ea.com/za/help/account/information-about-locked-or-banned-or-suspended-accounts/
