Guys, watch out for this new scam that's happening on Facebook. So here's the details. You get an email that looks like this. It says it's from Meta, and it says that your page is violating some privacy laws. So when you click on it, it gives you a link that you have to click in to appeal. That link sends you to this page. And this page is actually a fake page, okay? It's just set up to steal your information. And this is how people are getting into ad accounts, and they're running fake ads, and they're spending thousands and thousands of dollars on ads, plus they're locking you out of your account. So if you. The way to know if it's a fake is click in the email. Look up here, right here. You can click. And you can see that forward email is not from Facebook. Also, the link, when you click it, it's got all this extra stuff on it, okay? It needs to just be facebook.com okay? Make sure to spread this around, because a lot of people are getting scammed this way, and I haven't seen a lot of stuff on this.
