Hi First name / there,
It's Ashley with One Love Social! I wanted to send a quick email to help warn you about some crazy phishing scams that are going on that can affect your Facebook Business account and Ad accounts.
I can't tell you how many times a week I hear from clients that Facebook is shutting them down and that they need to click a link immediately to stop this from happening. This is a typical phishing scheme! DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!
See below to not fall victim to this!
About phishing
Phishing is when someone tries to get access to your Facebook account by sending you a suspicious message or link that asks for your personal information. If they get into your account, they may use your account to send spam.
Example of phishing
Joey gets an email that says he needs to log into his Facebook account to read an important message about his account. The email links to a website that isn't a Facebook website. Then he's asked to enter his username and password.
How to identify suspicous emails or messages
If you can recognize suspicous messages or emails, then you may be able to avoid phishing scams
Don't trust messages that:
- Demand money
- Offer gifts
- Threaten to delete or ban your Facebook account
Emails about your account always come from:
- fb.com
- facebook.com
- facebookmail.com
