Don't immediately freak out over a suspension.
I had an incident where a new account which had not bought or sold anything was suspended a couple of months ago. This sort of thing has happened a time or two before, so I called and the 1st person told me there was nothing they could do at all ever forever gofudgeyourself. They couldn't tell me what the problem was either. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who's never available. Two days later, I called again. Same result. Next day, new person, quick review, quick escalation to supervisor. If you don't get one the 1st or 2nd time, don't quit. Give them some time, a day or two, & call back. I finally reached someone who wanted to verify all of the information used to sign up. If you're buying accounts, like I do, be sure they give you ALL of the information. (Quick shout out to Speeder33 for some good accounts!!!) After that I received an apology, some BS about protecting safety blowtorch paper nightingales. I stopped listening. My account was restored and personally verified. Job Done.
So it can be done in some circumstances. I won't go into depth about the others, but don't immediately freak. Social engineering can work, but if you don't put up a fight at all, nobody's going to fight for you. Just be polite, demand answers, and don't accept nothing as an answer. If you hit a wall, don't poo on the person you're speaking with. Just politely end the conversation and call back. Operator roulette is your friend.
