A concerning phishing scam has emerged, specifically targeting business owners associated with Meta Platforms, Inc. Scammers are exploiting fears of trademark rights infringements, attempting to force page owners into clicking on malicious links under the guise of resolving alleged policy violations. In reality, the scam is aimed at stealing the email address and password of the Facebook account further leading to the takeover of the page, profile and financial information.
The fraudulent message, seemingly originating from a supposed temporary support agent, warns recipients of an impending permanent deletion of their Facebook page. The scam leverages the authority of Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly Facebook, to create an atmosphere of urgency and legitimacy.
In normal circumstances, scammers and two-bit thieves create phishing pages which are full of coding errors, spelling and grammar mistakes. Additionally, their design lacks sophistication and often turns out to be broken pages, however, the ongoing phishing scam is quite sophisticated only and only because of its flawless design. A look at the screenshot captured by Hackread.com shows scammers have become professional in coding and web design:
