Facebook will never ask you for your password in an email or send you a password as an attachment.

Scammers sometimes create fake emails that look like they’re from Facebook. These emails often look like:

  • Notifications about friend requests, messages, events, photos and videos.
  • False claims that you went against our Community Standards.
  • Warnings that something will happen to your account if you don't update it or take a certain action.
  • Claims or offers that sound too good to be true (such as winning a Facebook Lottery.)

Note: if an email or Facebook message looks strange, don't open it or any attachments. Instead, report it to phish@fb.com or through the report links that appear throughout Facebook.

I received an email from security@facebookemail.com saying “ We received a request to reset your Facebook password.

Enter the following password reset code:”. Is this legit? It has all the hallmarks of a carefully created scam . Nowhere is there any way to contact FB(meta) without clicking on this page which is remarkably insecure if it is not a scam. Please advise.

Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect

HI Philip,

Your account has the potential to reach a lot of people, so we require stronger security. We built Facebook Protect, an advanced security program, to help defend accounts like yours.

Turn on Facebook Protect for your account by 21 January 2022. After that, you will be locked out of your account until you enable it.

• We’ve already turned on advanced login protections for your account.

• To fully enable Facebook Protect, we’ll check your account for vulnerabilities, and help you resolve them.

Philip Wollen

Turn On Facebook Protect

While Facebook Protect is only available to accounts like yours, you can help your friends protect their accounts by recommending a Security Checkup.

Thanks so much,

The Facebook Team
