Beware of Messenger Phishing Scams!

Protect your business page and personal account from cybercriminals

Scammers are targeting social media managers of business pages with a new phishing tactic on Messenger. They send a fake “urgent warning” message claiming that your page has been disabled due to violations. The message appears to be from Facebook (Meta) and includes a link to “resolve the issue.”

If you click the link, you could lose control of your account and expose your private information.

How to Identify the scam

• The message is sent from a page named “Je Pagina Is Uitgeschakeld” (Your Page Is Disabled), not from Facebook (Meta) directly
• There may be typos, grammatical errors, or strange phrasing in the message
• The link in the message directs you to a fake login page that looks like Facebook’s.

What to Do

• Do not click on the link
• Report the message as spam to Meta
• Delete the message.

Additional Tips to Protect Yourself

• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for all your social media accounts. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone in addition to your password when you log in.
• Be cautious of any messages that create a sense of urgency. Scammers often try to rush you into making a decision without thinking.
• Carefully review the sender’s name and the link before clicking on anything. If something looks suspicious, it probably is.
