Does Facebook send emails about account security?

Facebook may send login alerts, but always from @facebookmail.com. Check recent login activity at facebook.com/settings → Security and Login. Never click links in suspicious emails.

What is the "Is this you in this video" scam?

A hacked friend's account sends you a link saying "Is this you?" Clicking it leads to a fake login page that steals your Facebook credentials. Never click these links.

Does Facebook have phone support?

No. Facebook/Meta does not offer phone support. Any phone number claiming to be Facebook support is a scam. Use facebook.com/help for all support requests.

Example Scam Messages

These are examples of fake messages impersonating Facebook. Never click links in unsolicited messages.

“Facebook: We noticed a login attempt from an unrecognized device. If this wasn't you, secure your account: facebook-security-check.com”

“Meta Business: Your page has been flagged for violating community standards. If you don't appeal within 24 hours, your page will be permanently deleted: meta-business-appeal.com”

“Hey! Is this you in this video?? 😂 [link]”

Red Flags to Watch For

Login alerts from non-facebook.com domains
"Appeal" links for page violations (Facebook handles these in the app)
Messages from friends containing suspicious links (their account was likely hacked)
Marketplace buyers who overpay or send fake payment screenshots
Copyright/policy violation urgency — Facebook gives you time to respond
