Locked out of the account and can't appeal the ban

Today I after communicating with an EA advisor I recovered my EA account since a hacker had access to it and had changed the email. From the advisor I learned that I have a ban in apex legends. I guess because of the hacker since the  last time I played was in November 2023. Afterwards I as I tried to reset my password (it was suggested by the advisor and also I didn't remember it) I didn't receive the code in the email. I checked both junk and spam folders and still nothing. Again, I communicated with an EA advisor and learned that I can't receive the code in the email because my account is suspended due to violations of terms of service. It was suggested to me by the advisor that I should fill the appeal weform and submit it. The problem is that to access the webform I have to sign in which I can't. So, basically I can't do anything.

That is why I am writing this post from a secondary account that I recently discovered I have. Also, I haven't accessed my account from any other country apart from the one that I live in. So, I guess it should be evident from the IP logs that I wasn't the one violating the ToS.

    Hi there, thank you for reaching out and for providing such a detailed explanation of your situation. I’m really sorry to hear about the trouble you've been through with your account and the added frustration of not being able to send an appeal to the Terms of Service team. 

    In cases like this, where account access is still restricted and you're unable to sign in to submit a Terms of Service appeal, the best next step is to get back in touch with EA Help. They should be able to assist you in recovering full access to your account first. If the primary email is not receiving security codes, they can try adding a secondary email. Once that’s resolved, you’ll then be able to reach the Terms of Service team through the appropriate channels.

    I hope this helps.
