Question

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹

Hello Meta Support Team,

My Meta Quest 3S account has been restricted from making purchases due to unusual activity.

I received an email from the Meta Horizon Team telling me to verify my identity in the Wallet section of the Meta Horizon mobile app.

However, when I open Wallet, I cannot find any identity verification option. I only see options to edit my avatar and profile.

I would like to continue purchasing games and items in the Meta Quest Store.

Could you please help me verify my identity and remove the purchase restriction?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Firstly you should know that this is a user only forum. There are no Meta staff here, community managers or moderators.. Only users. There is no Meta Support team.

OK, this can happen unfortunately and one of many factors might have caused it.. It often fixes itself after a while. If you keep using your headset as normal, play some games, watch YouTube or whatever, it will often just reset to normal after a few days.

Next, If you have been using the Horizon app on the phone to purchase games, try buying one through the headset itself, sometimes it's worked for some people.

Another thing to try, if you can get to the set up a payment method page, first make a virtual credit card or debit card on your banking app and change the payment method to the virtual card and it might start working again. It did for me, and I've had no problems since then.

And here is a direct email link to a human support person at Meta, just in case. I know it's very frustrating but it won't be permanent. This happens for your own security. Good luck and hope you get it fixed soon! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

Hi โ€‹@julia.266025ย ๐Ÿ™‚

Reach out to Meta support HEREย ย 

Scroll down and click on โ€œorders and returnsโ€, describe your problem in the box and wait for the AI response.

Then scroll down and click on โ€œthis did not resolve my issueโ€, select Quest in the product box... now youโ€™ll get the email, chat and WhatsApp option to contact Meta support.

โ€‹@Choleniย I'll have to stop sharing that email link. It seems that Meta have decided not to reply any more.. It was my cheat, but unfortunately all good things come to an end! ๐Ÿ˜ย

Yes, I guess all users have to take the inconvenient route now.

Seems there is no way to give them a direct link anymoreโ˜น๏ธโ€ฆย at least I didnโ€™t find a way.
