Why am I banned?

Hey! so first of all I do not support cheating and I myself is not a user of any software that gain unfair advantage to normal players who wants to play fairly in any games. However, I did receive an email from EA that my Apex account was cheating? I haven't played it for a long time (Last played was when the Valkyrie legend was announced) It says that I was cheating in-game which is honestly confusing as I didn't play it for a loooooong time. I checked my ban history in my account and says there is no history of any bans but I am seriously afraid of opening my apex now and get punched in the face with a ban notif when I log-in since I kinda want to go back playing again (Tired of valorant). I can provide screenshots that will serve as an evidence that I am not cheating (Though I highly suspect my account was breached in some point since EA reset my password and some fool used it to cheat).

P.S. I wasn't really careful on my EA account since I mainly use steam and I don't have any VAC Ban issued on my account which is an indicator that I don't cheat obviously. I'm just scared it'll trigger a chain reaction on my steam account since that is where Apex is downloaded on my end.

    Hi @NGAUGEPH,

      

    We are unable to assist with account issues or actions on Answers HQ. We have a dedicated TOS team that handles Sanctions and Bans on accounts. You will need to reach out to them to have this looked into, it may take some time to see a response so be sure to keep an eye on your email.   

      

    If you have checked your Ban History, please note not all Bans may appear here. If you have further questions about Bans or investigations we have a few Help Articles below that provide further details.   

        

      

    Thanks!

    Appreciate the reply there mate!, yeah I have checked my Ban History but there's nothing in there (See attached screenshot) but like you've said not all bans may appear in here so I'm just taking a precaution and not installing Apex Legends in my steam account since I have the last play time recorded in steam which might serve as an evidence for your TOS team.

    Hey @NGAUGEPH 

    It could take some time for bans to appear over there.
    You can already send a ban appeal request to the TOS.

    Don't be afraid to link your steam to your EA account, don't think they look at that VAC bans, what happened, happened.
    If you haven't logged into your account in a long time, you might want to request your  EA data on EA.com check for suspicious logins, and attach that proof if you see any sus login attempts.

    Hope you get this issue sorted.🙂
