HWID Banned

Hello,

i randomly got banned on my main account and I got so confused  I didn't understand why that happend.

So I opened a case in hopes to get some information and support. EA Support told me that I got banned for cheating. 

So I told them that I did in fact not cheat. I've been playing the game since season 1 without any hacks whatsoever.

after some back and forth the support stopped helping me and kept answering with an automated copy paste text.

I talked to my friends about what happend because I've tried creating a few accounts to play apex and all my accounts got banned within an hour (again no cheating, not being toxic , just normally playing the game) so my friends got confused as well and one of them told me that I may have gotten an HWID Ban he also told me that it's kinda suspicious that I got banned right after I bought a used PC. Could it be that the PC had a HWID Ban to begin with? If so what can I do about that? Is there any chance of getting my account back?

    I'm afraid we are unable to assist with issues relating to account bans here on the forums.

    If you haven't already appealed to our Terms of Service team, you can create an appeal here to get started with that process.

     

    If you've already created an appeal to have our Terms of Service team review that situation and the request was declined, you're welcome to submit an additional appeal and another member of our ToS team will take another look at things.

     

    They will reach back out to you via email once their investigation is complete, and as we're unable to change their decision or discuss the specifics of an account issue on the forums, it would be best to keep an eye out for that email to arrive. Thanks!

    As far as the account goes I am in agreement with @OldTreeCreeper in that there is probably nothing you will be able to do about that.

    You may want to get in touch with the person you bought the used PC from about whether or not it had a HWID ban on it from EA. That is however an issue between you the buyer and the seller and not an EA issue. 

  • 100% used PC has hardware id ban...

    Maybe if you get to live chat with EA customer support and explain in detail, or explain in email

    not sure if you can replace some stuff and maybe the HWID gets changed

    i think it's the PC sadly
