Has anybody else had this happen to them.... when trying to login to pinterest it says I have been deactivated due to suspicious activities??? The only thing I ever due is follow somebodys blog to enter a contest ... Weird....
 
:crazytongue: Nope that's the first I have heard of anyone getting locked out on Pinterest. Wonder if you get a prize for that distinction! :laughing:
 
Same thing for me today, but I got notice that somebody repinned my pin?

The site said that an email would be sent in the next few business days after they complete their investigation.
 
:scratch: I spoke too soon! I am locked out too. They say on their support page that you will get an email in 72 hours telling you how to get back in. :scratch:
 
...I'm locked out too...I'm hoping they hurry up & send that email...I remember clicking on somebodies pin that was concerning jobs or work at home ventures, since then I've been having boards and pins that I didn't add...I'm fairly new to Pinterest so I thought Pinterest was adding them...truth is I was hacked when I clicked on that bogus pin.
 
I always go to the source when I have issues:

It's important to us that your account is secure and that all the content on Pinterest is authentic. That's why we're constantly monitoring Pinterest for suspicious activity. When we detect unusual activity on an account, we temporarily lock it to protect its pins and prevent spam.

If your account is locked, we will log off all users and send you an email with instructions to create a new password. It may take several business days for our team to investigate your account and send these instructions.

We understand that it's frustrating to lose access to your pins and we're working to get you pinning again as soon as possible - thank you for your patience.

For information on how someone may have gained access to your account, and to learn how to safeguard your account going forward, see this article:
