Depending on how much is at stake here there is a site called swapd.co where a bunch of people advertise Instagram "unbanning services." Basically they bribe Facebook support employees to get your account back. Typically they run for a few hundred dollars. I think the site has a built in escrow system too so as long as you pay on site you should be protected. I hope this goes viral so you don't have to do that but it's an option. Good luck.

Also, here are some examples (I have not used these services specifically but I have had positive interactions with this site overall). For reference most of the scams occur in the currency exchange section because there is no escrow there unlike the other sections. https://swapd.co/t/fast-cheap-instagram-unbans/591835/75 https://swapd.co/t/fast-cheap-instagram-unbans/591835/75 https://swapd.co/t/instagram-unban-service-cheap-fast-100-success-rate/618535/111 https://swapd.co/t/instagram-unban-service-cheap-fast-100-su... https://swapd.co/t/instagram-unban-service-any-violation-no-pre-payment-diamond-club-seller/592777 https://swapd.co/t/instagram-unban-service-any-violation-no-... Just make sure if you go this route to do any trades over the checkout ticket system on the site so that no one can cheat you.

This is not meant as a criticism of you by any means for providing the URL - you are providing an answer to a question by advising of an existing service - but the fact that this methodology has to exist in order for this option to be available to anyone is sick, and it also seems a de-motivator for any non-bribery-related legitimate path to ever be put in place.

  Yeah I've commented on this [before](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33040446 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33040446). The other thing is that a lot of the people unbanned by these kinds of services really did deserve to be banned. Until people inside these companies start expressing skepticism about what the abuse/"risk" departments do and how they handle false positives nothing will change so I just see it as a necessary evil but fortunately it seems some Facebook employees in this thread offered to help.
