Scammers Posing as Meta: Protect Your Facebook Page

Scammers are sending phishing emails posing as Meta, targeting Facebook Page admins.
These emails claim that the page has uploaded content that violates guidelines.
The goal is to scare small business owners and steal their Facebook login information.

Emails may come from accounts called "Restriction Alert" or "Restriction Details."
They often contain links that lead to fake Facebook pages.
Look for warning signs like no cover photo, no other posts, and a shield logo as the profile photo.
These scam pages mix old posts from the real account owner with new scam-related posts.
