Blocked From Fb Account

My account was blocked for the second time for "Sending too many friend requests", with the following message:Only Send Friend Requests to People Who Know You It’s against Facebook’s Terms to send friend requests to people who don’t know you, and could even be considered harassment. We strive to make Facebook a safe space for everyone, so we ask that you send friend requests to people you know well.  I understand that sending friend requests to people who don't know me isn’t allowed on Facebook.  The only people I have sent requests to are family and friends, when I signed up with FB!  I NEVER send requests to people I don't know!

You can't fix the problem unfortunately and there does not seem to be a way to contact Facebook and actually speak to someone.  I think you will be only locked for seven days ... next time you can message "friends" to add you... hope this helps and sorry!

Usually this happens when people you're sending friend requests to consistently respond with "I don't know this person" instead of accepting your friend request.

Maybe they don't recognize your Facebook name or maybe they don't want to add you to their Facebook. 

The other option could be that you've been hacked and your hacker is sending friend requests on your behalf. You may want to change your password as a security measure.
