Meta Business Spam Messages

Spam Message From Facebook or Meta?

Understanding Meta Business Spam Message Fraud

How Do I Know if a Message is a Scam?

• Don’t trust messages threatening to delete or ban your account, including ones demanding personal or business information from you. Fraudsters often use urgency and threats to manipulate victims. If an email or message claims that your account will be suspended unless you take immediate action, consider it a red flag.
• Inconsistent language can be a dead giveaway. Phishing emails often contain grammatical errors and inconsistencies in language, which can be a sign of a fraudulent message.
• Emails from Facebook or Instagram about your account will only come from email addresses ending in @mail.instagram.com or @facebookmail.com.

What Should I Do If I Get A Meta Business spam message?

• Turn on two-factor authentication for additional account security.
• Don’t click any links in messages like this. Mimicked URLs: Always double-check the URLs in any email or message. Cybercriminals often create convincing but fake websites that closely resemble the official Meta Business Manager login page.
• Don’t answer messages asking for your password, social security number, or credit card information. Legitimate communication from Meta typically won’t request sensitive information via email.
• Do Not Respond: Avoid interacting with the email or message. Do not provide any information or click on any links.
• Report to Meta: Forward the suspicious email to Meta’s official support or security team. They can investigate the matter and provide guidance.
• Change Passwords: If you suspect your credentials have been compromised, change your password for Meta Business Manager and any other accounts that share the same password.
