Scam Description:
🚨SCAM ALERT🚨⚠️ Beware of this scam on Facebook: Business owners’ accounts on Facebook are receiving messages from someone who is pretending to be the Meta support team. The message claims that your page has been disabled due to intellectual property infringement. However, this is not genuine Meta support; it is a phishing scam aiming to hack your account. If you receive this message, refrain from clicking on the provided link. Instead, follow these steps: ✅ Confirm the status of your business page by either searching for it or logging into your page. ✅ Review your business information in Meta Business Suit or Facebook Business Manager. Facebook will notify you of any account problems that require your attention. ✅ Check your email. If you have received any previous warnings regarding infringement, the page administrators should have been alerted through an email from Facebook concerning the matter. (Avoid clicking on any links in the emails as well; instead, go directly to your account center on Facebook or Meta Business Suite.) ✅ Inform Facebook about the message so that they can conduct further investigations. Please help spread awareness by sharing this with other businesses you know!
