Appeal template — copy and fill in

Hello Meta Team,

The profile/page [Fake profile link] is pretending to be me. My real account is [Your profile or page link], and my name is [Full legal name].

The fake account uses my [name / photos / page name] and is [messaging my followers / asking for money / posting as me]. I can confirm my identity with my ID.

Please remove the fake account.

Thank you,
[Full legal name]

Replace every [highlighted part] with your own details before you send it.

Where to submit

Facebook — the fake profile → Report

How to submit — step by step

Important

Ask your followers to report it too.

Before you send it

Use your usual phone and internet connection.
Your profile name must match your ID if Facebook asks for one.
Fill every [bracket] with your real details and delete the brackets.
Keep the message short and honest — reviewers read many every day.
Never pay anyone who promises to "unban" your account. They cannot, and many are scams.

Questions

Where do I submit this Facebook appeal?

Facebook — the fake profile → Report. Open the fake profile → "..." → Report.

What should I know before I appeal?

Ask your followers to report it too.

Can someone recover my Facebook account for money?

No. Only Meta can review your account, and the appeal is free. People who ask for money to "unban" or "recover" accounts are almost always scammers — never share your password or login codes with them.

Is this an official Facebook form?

No. This is a free template from Umair TikTok Wala Academy. You still submit it yourself inside Facebook. We are not part of Meta, and no one can guarantee the result.
