Beware: Fake Facebook Policy Violation Scam Targeting Page Owners

Posted on 28-08-2025 | Category: General | Views: 83


Many Facebook users have recently reported receiving alarming messages claiming that their page or post has violated Facebook’s community guidelines. These messages often include a warning like:

“Your post goes against our community standards. Found a violation ⚠️. Your account will be cancelled within 24 hours if you don’t appeal.”

They usually provide a suspicious link (for example: wasmer.app or netlify.app) and ask you to enter your login details. At first glance, this looks urgent and official — but it’s actually a phishing scam.


? How the Scam Works

  1. The Fake Warning
    The scammer sends you a message pretending to be Facebook Security. It looks real because it uses official-sounding language and scare tactics.

  2. The Phishing Link
    Instead of linking to Facebook, they redirect you to a fake website hosted on domains like netlify.app or wasmer.app.

  3. Stealing Your Login
    If you enter your email and password there, scammers instantly capture your account. They may lock you out, steal your data, or use your page for more scams.


? Red Flags to Watch Out For

  • Links that are not from facebook.com or fb.com.

  • Messages threatening account cancellation in 24 hours.

  • Errors or unnatural English grammar.

  • Requests for personal details or passwords.


✅ What To Do If You Get This Scam Message

  • Do not click on the suspicious link.

  • Check your account security:

    • Change your Facebook password.

    • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

  • Log out of all devices and review “Where You’re Logged In.”

  • Remove suspicious apps from your account.

  • Report the phishing attempt to Facebook at phish@fb.com.


? Final Advice

Facebook will never threaten to delete your account in 24 hours. All real appeals happen inside your Support Inbox at facebook.com/support.
Always double-check the website address before entering your login details. Staying alert is the best protection against online scams.
