Dude, that sucks. WTF? I've never had to fork over my phone number (which is good, because I only ever use FB for work, and would ditch it in a second if it gave me any personal grief). Could you, I dunno... make up a phone number? XD 1-800-AUT-OBOT? Seriously, if they ever even checked these numbers, I'm sure it would be a breach of privacy in legal terms, which is probably all they care about anyway. :P Screw them. Just make something up.

PS I never thought it would be *that* funny to see a banana going :( in any context whatsoever.

Just saying. ;)

I can't fake a number because they want to know whether I would like to be texted or called for verification. OR...I can choose not to give them my phone number if I A) upload a PDF of my driver's license, and B) type out a detailed explanation of why I cannot give my phone number.

FAIL.

I'm glad to make you laugh though. :D Poor Bananamated Prowl. It wasn't his best week. But he's had lots of coddling and affection since then to make up for his trials and tribulations.

Huh. I've never given Facebook my phone number, and I've been on it for about five years. o.O

Yeah, well they want that or my drivers' license. Fail. :/

I guess I won't be a FB user then.

man, if you got a free account on facebook, there is nothing they should be charging you for. I would go to their terms of service page and save that page (or copy/paste it, get it any way possible) I would personally refuse to pay, and wave their own terms of service in their faces if they tried.

Also, to get creditors off your back: when they call, tell them you are not paying them a red cent unti lthey send you an ITEMIZED LIST of everything you owe for. If it's a collection agency, they won't have it. And they cannot lawfully do a thing if you tell them that. They are required to be able to send you an itemized list, even though they're too stupid to have one.

I don't think I have a facebook account either. I find it incredibly creepy.
*hugs* I hope things work out for you.

Thanks. :) They don't want my money though, just my phone number. Or my drivers' license. Which I will not give them.

Maybe Crave has a phone number you could call? They must offer you some option to spend money with them?? ):

...I'm glad I'm not the only person that refuses to touch Facebook with an 8 million mile long pole. DX I hate it So. Much!

I hate FB. I already checked out Crave though, and they only deal through FB. It's a social networking site in that it's like a TF fan garage sale. I love it. And...I can't use it. :/

Facebook has always weirded me out. I guess my concerns have been proven right.

That just sounds fishy to me. Might not be Facebook at all, could be some spyware or virus you caught dealing with the hell-site.

I personally don't use Facebook either. I created an account to locate a relative and once I got her real life phone number again, I ignored the damn thing. Used no info that could be traced back to me on it either.

And the trouble is, you can't contact facebook to report it. It does seem fishy. They want my drivers' license if I won't give my phone, and my account is suspended until I cough this up. Forget creepy FB then. :/

Can't contact them? They have no tech support? Damn, no wonder that site is so messed up.

Only other thing I can think of is create a new account with minimal info. Maybe that will work.
