Back to Facebook Page Violation Scam

This is a version of Facebook Page Violation Scam.

Your meta business account is under urgent critical review for policy violations scam

This version of the Meta business account scam uses a fake urgent warning email, claiming that your Meta or Facebook business account will be permanently shut down within 24 hours due to policy violations. The email threatens loss of access to accounts, business tools, and data. It pressures you to “appeal” instantly or risk losing your entire account. The aim is to scare business owners or page managers into clicking dangerous links or providing sensitive login details.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Uses urgent 24-hour deadline and threats of total shutdown to create panic

  2. Pretends to be official Meta or Facebook support

  3. Sends to business or page admin email addresses for impact

  4. Lists “policy violations” and describes technical-sounding consequences

  5. Often uses scam sender addresses that look odd or unrelated

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive a message or email that looks like it’s from Meta/Facebook saying your Page violated rules.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The message includes a case ID and a link to 'appeal' or 'chat with support' right away.

  3. 3

    Step 3: The link opens a fake Facebook/Meta page that asks for your login and sometimes your 2FA code.

  4. 4

    Step 4: If you enter details, scammers sign in to your real account, change passwords, and take control.

  5. 5

    Step 5: They may run paid ads, message your followers, or demand money to 'unlock' your Page.

✓ Do this

  • Check Page Quality/Account Quality inside Facebook or the Business Suite—don’t trust the message.
  • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) and use a strong, unique password.
  • Remove unknown admins from your Page and review ad account activity regularly.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not click links in unexpected messages about violations or locks.
  • Do not enter your Facebook login or 2FA code on sites that aren’t facebook.com or meta.com.
  • Do not chat with 'support' on third‑party sites or give remote access to your device.
  • Do not pay fees or provide card details to 'unlock' your Page.
  • Do not trust case IDs, logos, or addresses in the message—check inside Facebook instead.
