Scam Warning: Facebook Intellectual Property Email is Fake

Scam Warning: Facebook Intellectual Property Email is Fake

A new phishing scam email has been making the rounds and claims to warn the user about important intellectual property infringement that has happened on their Facebook (sometimes Instagram) profile. While most people click the email when they see it, as copyright infringement is a serious offense, there’s good reason to steer your cursor in the other direction to report the message immediately. If you have seen any copies of the Facebook or Instagram intellectual property email, don’t click it!

Scam Warning: Facebook Intellectual Property Email is Fake

The Facebook or Instagram intellectual property email has been sent to thousands of users. Many users have made the mistake to click on the email. However, the message is a known phishing email scam that is designed to allow hackers to gain access to your login credentials to steal user data. In some cases, hackers will then take complete control of your social media accounts.

Here’s what the Facebook intellectual property email claims when you receive it, and why it could be one of the most dangerous phishing scams out there right now.

The Facebook Intellectual Property Email

The Facebook intellectual property email is a new fake copyright violation scam message that has been doing the rounds. This message is most likely to go straight to your email inbox.

While many users have found their copies in the spam folder, the fact that the email appears so close to real has even fooled most bots into letting it past the spam inbox and into the legitimate inbox.

What makes this email look authentic is the Facebook logo, the authentic tone (often with very few spelling mistakes), and the fact that the email address is spoofed to look like it comes from Facebook itself.

It doesn’t mean that you should be fooled.

While even some virus checkers and keen website users will miss the fact, the email is a complete fake.

A Classic Phishing Scam

The Facebook intellectual property email is the classic phishing scam that has been going around for quite some time. Some details have been updated to make the email appear as it comes from the administrators of the Facebook team instead of from a telephone company.

The basic elements of the phishing scam still remain the same.

An urgent issue prompts the user to click on a link in the email. The message will typically claim that this action has to happen as soon as possible or your account will be deleted in 24 hours.

Once you’ve clicked the link within a fake message, you’ve gone too far – and you could be hacked. An element is added to the scam in the form of a message that prompts the user to fill in their username, password, or other personal information about themselves.

The scam replicates the same result as hundreds of others, though the new Facebook angle has managed to catch out even some smart internet users.

What Phishing Does

Phishing might look legitimate on the surface, but they are not. What the email claims, is never what the email delivers.

Instead of a means to secure your content or account, phishing does the opposite and exposes all of your most important information or system access points to hackers.

Phishing is meant to confuse even the most internet-wise users, and unfortunately, they too often manage. When an email looks like it comes from your bank (or from Facebook), it’s just true that people are more likely to click on it.

Don’t Click It

Not everyone out there has a copy of the Facebook intellectual property email, because not everyone would have gotten the scam in their email.

However, if it does appear in your inbox, the most important thing you should do about the email is this:

Don’t click it!

If you click the link, you risk the exposure of your own information or system. The resulting virus could also access your contacts, and spread this message even further to everyone you know.

How Does Facebook Contact Users?

While the email appears to be legitimate and from Facebook, it isn’t. This is the biggest misunderstanding among people who decide to click on the link.

Facebook will not usually contact a user like this for issues. Instead, notifications that are actually related to your account will appear through your account, and you will be able to visit the official Facebook Support Inbox to confirm it.

For real copyright infringement reports, a form has to be filled out. This can only be done through official Facebook channels.

I had them to create my “Save the Date” announcements, I worked with the Graphic Designer, gave them what I was picturing and they took the concept I had in mind and made it better than I could have imagined. The turnaround was speedy. I highly recommend this company, very professional and customer oriented.

At the start of the year I had decided to invest in a company to help me grow my landscaping business and reach a new market here in Colorado. Omaha SEO Company was the right choice and I began seeing results right off the bat. Their team started by stream lining my website and making sure all my internet search information appeared correctly and professionally. I was even given help designing my logo, which I absolutely love! Ive since recieved quality leads increasing my business this season. I couldnt be happier being backed by their aid/support, and I look forward to growth in 2020!

Omaha SEO Company Gets FIVE STARS!We have been working with Nabil and Omaha SEO Company for the past five months. When we first started with Omaha SEO, our Company, Visiting Angels was down around the 20th position on Google Search. In just three months Omaha SEO Company has us in 3rd ranking and we are still climbing. This is remarkable considering how competitive the Non-Medical Homecare space is in Omaha. This has also had a direct positive impact on new business for us over these past several months. Nabil is great to work with and truly cares about our business and our success, making sure we are doing the right things to keep us at the top!

Most SEO companies over promise and under deliver. Nabil and his team have knocked it out of the park and have been so good to work with. Personable, knowledgeable, prompt, and accountable. We feel we have a partner in our business to drive growth. Leads have increased and we made some operational changes to ensure the phones were being answered for a winning combo.

I had worked with Omaha SEO and felt that they were doing a lot of work for me and we still were not getting results like I wanted in a very competitive market. We tried some different ways to look at what was happening and then he got an idea. We tried it for a couple of weeks, and the phone rang almost every day. After a couple of weeks, "crickets" again. We knew what was made the difference--his idea worked. He kept working until I got results that brought clients to my door. I am very grateful for his professionalism and tenacity. It paid off.
