Fantastic breakdown of these scam/phishing emails. I've had a few clients freak out on getting one... and then still click on one of the links AFTER being told it was a scam. That's how scary these things can be. Pinterest also sends them. A lot of them.
I've had one of these - suggesting I'd broken community guidelines and my Facebook page would be terminated. I can't remember clearly what happened but I definitely panicked and at first I believed it. It came in my Facebook notifications which is also where genuine notifications about breaking community guidelines arrives.

It's awful. There are lots of good people out there - so for those, I'm grateful. We have to look out for each other!
Great info thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Robin! I hate how so many writers and friends are receiving these so I hope it helps clear up the fact that they're fake.

Yea, it can be scary! Even notifications aren't proof that the notice is legit. IDK why. I guess because AI is running FB.
