In this situation, do you believe a letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating the business name, address and EIN would be sufficient for Facebook?

Or, a letter from the Louisiana Department of Revenue stating the business name, address, State Withholding Tax ID or State Sales Tax ID would be sufficient for Facebook?

Both of those should fall under "business tax file".

Your male for male escort service isn't considered a legit business. I tried telling you that already.

One would think, right?

So far, Facebook has rejected a letter from the IRS and two letters from the Louisiana Department of Revenue.

I can't figure out why.

And trying to contact them and reach a human is next to impossible.

This was the first documentation I sent in. Rejected.

But Facebook sure was able to validate my credit card information to take payment to advertise with them.

That's odd. Maybe they are strickter now. Though what are you to do if you have a new business and haven't paid taxes?

Also I know people with Facebook business pages that don't have registered business. Just them and a issue washer, lawn mower, etc... yet they have a business page.

Not sure? The documentation that I provided clearly lists the IRS and LADR letterhead and logo.

My business is registered. I am going to send them my Article of Organization next time.

If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what else I can truly provide that will be acceptable?

I didn't either. At first.

I'm not sure what the real difference is in having one's Facebook business page verified or not, as I am still able to do what I want to do with it.

Roaches use the facebook?

Are you deleting all of the comments by them or just the bad ones?

So many questions

So you're saying this is a page for your business that you didn't create, correct? I'm pretty sure I've run into this. Before I set up a FB business page for a business I guess there were enough people on FB trying to look up the business that FB automatically created the page. Once I set up the official FB business page I was able to claim this automatically created page and then was able to delete it.
