SHOPIFY Deems my store risky help what do I do

[Andrew300]

A little back story of the entire situation, I am new to shopify I never set up a  shopify store before for one reason only.

I am in an unsupported country however I was informed that if I had start an LLC in the united states get an ein number then 

I will be ok with Shopify because I will satisfy all the requirements for stripe. I sign up for stripe and everything is cool then I sign up for Shopify after hours of setting it up I decided to launch the store. Shopify deleted it I contact the support after hours of waiting and waiting they told I must wait a little more the problem has been elevated to the risk team. I finally get a reply here is a script

Thank you and I wish you all the best with your business going forward!

At this point I choose to give up because what was I doing transporting drugs selling illegal stuff what do they mean my business is too risky it's my first time on Shopify I don't have a business I have never used this platform before. And I will never be able to.

And I don't even know why my friends did the same thing there store is ok what did I do to be discriminated like this.

well I know I lied about my country only because I already set up an LLC in the united states and I have an EIN number.

I know I use a third-party phone number to sign up but they could have said what the problem was let me know what to do. they just said fck off basically. so if anyone knows why I got this message please to let me know.

Your ticket ID is 17246814.

hello, ive just had the samething happen! im devastated! I dont know how risky selling dog leads is to shopify. Im in australia and not sure if that has affected anything or that i hired someone to clean up my page that is in bangladesh????? how can they deem it risking but give no context to how its risky! they have refunded my money but what about the $800 spent developing it??? 

sorry for my rant... did you get you page back? 

[Andrew300]

No, I switch to using woocommerce I did not even get an explanation why.

I spent a lot of money and time, shopping blocks us without any explanation. I'm opening a store for the first time and I'm risky for them, no one knows why. The worst thing is that they block you when they take your money. A typical scam.
