Wrongfully banned for the use of third party software?

Today I got the message that my account was banned for the use of third party software. I haven't used or installed any sort of prohibited software on my pc to cheat or gain a competitive advantage in league, or any game for that matter. The only possibility I can think of causing a red flag would be the eyestrain software I use called flux, which changes screen tint. I'm assuming this isn't the issue though. The only other software I use that places an overlay over league is discord.

Has anyone experienced a wrongful ban for third-party software use? I am looking to hear others experiences with this, those that weren't using third-party software of course... Was the mistake fixed? How long did the process take to be fixed?

I am an honest player, who's invested a lot of money and time into league. Also, it sucks to miss out on everything going on in league right now because of a wrongful ban.

Edit: While reading another thread on bans for third party software use, a user suggested checking match history to see if my account was hacked. I found two recent games played, that were not played by me. I know this because I've only been playing tft, and the games played were ranked summoners rift. I guess this complicates things, but if anyone has had a similar experience I'd appreciate hearing the outcome.

Contact riot support about those two games. Prove they werent you, prove youre the account owner, and prove you didnt lend your account. All you can do.

your account probably got scalped, and script kiddies used it..
