The fake Facebook mail leads to a phishing site

Scammers often send fake emails or SMS to persuade alleged victims to enter data on their website, which they can then use for their own criminal purposes.

“… reported your Facebook page”

Emails with this subject from the sender “Facebook” are currently arriving in various mailboxes.
Even if you want to know why something was flagged, you should be careful not to click the “Show flagged content” button in the mail.

This button takes you to a login page. But from the URL you should be able to immediately tell that this is not a page from which Facebook acts.

Attention, phishing!

If you enter your login details here, the creators of the fake site will be happy. This data is then provided to them “free of charge”.
They may take control of your account and any associated pages or groups.

information"> TIP: If you’re not sure if the login query really came from Facebook, try “login” with imaginary data. To do this, you use a randomly typed email address such as [email protected] and a randomly typed sequence of letters as a password.
If it works, this is confirmation that there isn’t really a comparison with existing user data, but that this page is only there to collect your login details!
