I don`t know maybe it is a bad account seller was. But I bought 2014 aged, verificated by tel, changed name, e-mail and follow manually to my real twitter account and that didn`t got any notification.
I don`t know if it bad accounts or it is twitter problem.

I ask it again: what email providers were used to verify your accounts? I'm sure it's a footprint.
Same as yours, all mails are russian (mail.ru, yandex.ru).
Followliker. 2-3 months old pva.

Thats a good point.
What ratios are you using? Follow/unfollow and tweets or what you do with that accounts?
How many time are you using this accounts? Looks strange that Twitter don't ask for re-verify all time.

If we would know then we would have talked about it here. Read the thread!
I have not ran FL one any of my accounts since this has been happening. I did try and load 250 brand new accounts on FL and around 10 got the SMS verification so I stopped FL. I also have Massplanner which does all the tweeting and it works perfectly fine. I will be waiting until FL fixes this and then I will restart it. I feel like it has to do with FL and the age of the accounts. Also all my accounts only tweeted around 10 tweets a day at random times using massplanner, but I did have a 500/500 follow/unfollow on the accounts. With the new batch of accounts I am trying different settings on every 10 accounts so I can see which one works best.

No, i didn't get any password resets in the last few days.
Older accs are always better to begin with, but you don't really need multiple year old accs. 2-3 months old PVAs are fine. The most problem occurs when the account is very new, 1-2 weeks or 1 month old. And don't buy the cheapest PVAs with Russian email providers, Russian phone numbers are fine though.
Me for instance, read above. 100 accs, haven't lost a single one.

No, you don't have the phone numbers. I mean you know them, but you can't use them. Those phone numbers were used to verify the accounts, but in most cases, you don't have access to those, unless you bought the accs/numbers on a site like smspva and they come with re-verification possibility.
That's the main issue when buying PVAs, if you get an SMS-only reverification request, you won't be able to do it and that acc is lost, just like if it was suspended.
It's not an FL specific issue. You're onto something with the Russian email providers though.
You should look into the ips too, which were used to create the accs. You can check that under Settings/Your Twitter data, there you can check the exact account age too. According to my experience, cheap PVAs use ips from Russia, but not just Russia, several other countries too around Russia, Latin America, Africa, those aren't good either. The best if the ip is a US ip.
These mass bans have something to do with the accs themselves, ips, email providers, phone numbers and it has nothing to do with user actions. User actions can be a trigger, but not the reason in this case, too many people are affected.
Twitter was cracking down, they must have blacklisted a lot of ips, maybe phone numbers and specific email providers too. These cheap Russian PVAs use all of that, so it wasn't really hard for Twitter to disable/lock a lot of accs all at once.
One question though, if you answer that, i think you can get closer to the truth:
Do you have any accs which survived and were verified with a Russian email provider? If no, then the email provider got blacklisted. If you have alive accs out of those, then it's an ip and/or phone number issue.
Unique numbers. But you can never be sure with PVAs, numbers can be re-used without you knowing. I only know that my 100 accs don't share the same numbers.
