AWS EC2 - Can't launch an instance - Account blocked : <p>I'm trying to launch an EC2 instance on my personal AWS account, but getting the following error:</p>

<pre><code>Launch Failed

<p>So I sent an email explaining, and got the following answer:</p>

<pre><code>Greetings from Amazon Web Services.

<p>But tried again and got the same error. Sent a new email, and got the same answer. Retried and still can't launch...</p>

<p>Apparently there's no problem with my payment method or anything like that. Also tried to launch it in different regions, like n. virginia, oregon and são paulo. Got the same error.</p>

<p>Any ideas? Thanks!</p>
