Hi,
My account was comprimised back in Oct 18.
I contacted support regarding this and the issues that arose from it. Support have said that they have temporarily disabled access to my account.
I've made a number of cases regarding this to try and get access to my account back.
The answer that I always recieve is :
"Hello,

We have taken this step as we have detected suspicious activity on your account during on-going standard systems analysis. During this period you will not be able to log in to your EA account or the online portions of our games. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and hope you will understand that we are taking this action to better protect your personal data.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. We apologize for any inconvenience our actions may have caused, however, the safety and security of our player’s accounts and personal information is of the utmost importance to us.

So I click on the link "http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/" Select Origin, Manage My Account, & Can't login.
This gives me a text box stating :
"It looks like your account, or the game account where you're trying to get help, broke our rules.
You can review the rules in our article.https://help.ea.com/uk/article/information-about-banned-or-suspended-accounts
Think your account was banned or suspended by mistake? We can create a case for you to get help with that instead.
We want to help! Let us know if you think the ban or suspension on your EA Account or one of the user names connected to it was a mistake.
So I go back and change the issue to "Banned or suspended account", then select contact option. This takes me to the email webform for creating a case :
"RECOMMENDED SUPPORT OPTION
Click the plus sign in the Email section below to fill out our webform. Make sure to include these details in the form so we can help you:
You can check out our article for more info about what to expect."
Under other support options the only other option is Email
Also on the information-about-banned-or-suspended-accounts page at the bottom it states:
"Can I talk to an Advisor about this?
We're happy to help you with your games and other questions when you call or chat with us. But the team that helps with banned and suspended accounts only works via email. By submitting this webform, your case will be with the team that specifically works on account bans and suspensions."
If I chose to create a case then it takes me back to the webform to generate a new email case.
So I'm stuck in a loop where there is only an email contact option, and the answer that I recieve is to contact via phone or chat.
But there is no phone or chat contact option available to me.
While typing this I have just gotten the same response to my latest case that I have raised.
This issue persists accross the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Edge, so I do not feel that it is browser or cookie related.
Cases history :
43477375 - 10/10/18
43491177 - 12/10/18
43716786 - 14/10/18
52462856 - 7/11/19
52462856 - 8/11/19
The title of the last one was " Suspended account. Can't login. Need Help - There is no Phone of Chat option".
I then recieved this reply
"Hello,
We've noticed some unusual activity on your EA account.

I go to the link " https://help.ea.com/contact-us/?product=origin&platform=pc&category=manage-my-account&issue=hacked-a...and the only option at the bottom is to generate a new case via email.

I have the same exact situation. I get stuck in a loop where I cannot contact anyone. I also tried twitter and never got a response. So I would have to say this is not a viable option either.

I am stuck in the same EA help loop. My account was compromised and a person switched my associated email address. Then they proceeded to use hacks in FIFA with my account. I have never owned or played FIFA in my life. I was able to reach an EA agent on the 1st of this month and we secured my account and setup 2 Factor Authentication. I played all weekend on my account only to log in on the 4th to find out my account was Permanently Blocked as a result of the hacker. I have spent a lot of money over several years investing into my games only to find myself in an endless EA help loop now.
