Suddenly banned for Cheating!

In the middle of a match on Monday the 24th of May I was suddenly banned without warning and haven't been able to play since. I don't know if it's a false flag or perhaps a mistake on the part of the...

@Yachi-TsukuGami not sure if its considered smurfing @E9ine_AC might know more about that? but just to be able to play now you could always make a new account.

just create a new Free gmail account and you will be playing apex in 10 minutes.
i know it sux to start over but atleast you will be able to play.
from what i read here on the forums from people that do get their account back it always takes Weeks sometime even months.

I play on steam so honestly this just hurts altogether. I just got word back from em and they are absolutely certain I cheated even though I didnt so I guess a new account would be my only shot. But honestly I'm not sure why to even bother now considering now I know I can lose everything cus of * incompetence on the part of someone else or some salty * reporting me for * and giggles.

Its just not fair. What the actual hell?

FYI. I downloaded Titanfall 2 about 2 days before I was banned. I might have not even played Titanfall 2 (on PC) until the day of the ban. It automatically links Steam to Origin for Titanfall 2. I never had Steam and Origin linked before. A lot of these bans are having something to do with Steam and I am even wondering if you can be hacked through Steam and the IP address won't show up in the EA data logs? I am also not buying this BS about passwords being cracked because there is such thing as number of failed attempts. It shouldn't matter if your password is crackable in 10^6 or 10^12
A lot of these bans are Steam related:

  I think youre onto something. The possibility I was hacked by someone else also exists as I distinctly remember seeing myself as one of my friends a few days ago. Now it's completely gone. That said, whatever it is they better fix it soon. Cus this is genuinely annoying

    @Yachi-TsukuGami In the same boat. Level 286.. was finally getting good. Got banned for "cheating" never cheated, my stats all looked right to what I remembered. And been like that almost 2 months now. All my appeals were denied, and basically EA's TOS team says I "cheated" and won't fix it.
    Maybe if we all keep complaining as a group something will happen?
    Don't stop coming to the forums. Don't stop complaining. Keep the movement alive to get us all unbanned.
    It's definitely a major problem now in my mind.
