Watch Out for “Violations Detected On Your Page” Facebook Scam

Watch Out for “Violations Detected On Your Page” Facebook Scam

Warning: If you receive a message in your inbox from the Facebook Support Team notifying you that “Violations Have Been Detected On Your Page” and you’ve violated the Facebook terms of service for copyright infringement, whatever you do, don’t fall for it. In fact, don’t even open it; just delete it right away. Why? Because it’s a big scam. What’s the deal? Keep on reading to find out.

Watch Out for “Violations Detected On Your Page” Facebook Scam

Phony Facebook Violation Email Background

Copyrights are a big deal, and violating copyrights is an even bigger deal, so much so that the majority of social media sites – including Facebook – are super-strict when it comes to enforcement. To illustrate, if you post a song or video on your Facebook page that’s copyrighted, the holder of the copyright can send a report to the social media giant letting them know you’ve shared the song or video without permission. As a result, Facebook will automatically remove the content from your page.

Note: This isn’t always the case, as some entities aren’t really too concerned about safeguarding intellectual property, while others are super strict about it.

Copyright Violations & Scams

Copyright violations are a legal matter, and scammers are well aware of this fact. Hence why some scammers are implementing phony copyright infringement alerts to deceive people into giving over their sensitive data. It’s for this reason that if you receive a message in your inbox from the Facebook Support Team that says you’ve violated their terms of service for posting copyrighted material you need to proceed with serious caution.

There’s a good chance that the email is a ruse, and the scam artists behind it are trying to get you to share your data, including your password, as well as your 2FA (two-factor authentication) code, and they’ll use your data for nefarious reasons. That’s why, as we previously stated, if you get a notification in your inbox like this, don’t even bother opening it; just delete it right away.

How the Scam Works

These types of scams aren’t new. In fact, they’ve been around for a while. Facebook users aren’t the only ones who are targeted, as the scammers behind these emails make the rounds with those major social media platform users.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who are targeted by this scam fall for it. This is because the malicious entities behind the scam use verbiage that the average person isn’t familiar with in the message to convince them that they actually are in violation of the terms of service and that violation can result in legal trouble if they don’t act fast.

Acting fast means sharing sensitive data, and the matter will be resolved, or so it is claimed. In reality, however, the scammers will take that information and use it to steal your personal information.

The following is an example of the message that you might receive:

Dear Facebook user,

We have received a lot of reports regarding the posts on your page. After conducting a review of your activity, we have determined that you are in violation of our Terms of Service. As a result, your account may be permanently suspended. If you believe this is an error, click on the link below to verify your account to confirm that your page has not violated our Terms of Service. We will review your account activity immediately and after doing so, will send you another notification via email.

To verify your account, click on the following link: (link).

What happens if you click the link?

Upon clicking on the link, you will be directed to what appears to be an authentic Facebook login page, but it isn’t. To verify your account, you’ll be asked to enter your login credentials (username/email address and your password). You will then be redirected to the real Facebook Help page.

It all seems legit, but in reality, what’s happened is that the bad actors have stolen and stored your credentials, and they’ll use the information to hijack your actual Facebook account.

How to Avoid the Scam

This phishing scam has been highly successful and a lot of people have fallen victim to it, but you don’t have to. If you ever receive a message like the one above and you’re concerned about your posts or pictures, simply log in to your Facebook account (DO NOT click on the link). If it’s a legitimate issue, the Facebook team will notify you directly through your account.

Stay Vigilant: Avoid Facebook Phishing Scams

Unfortunately, phishing scams are a reality these days, and they can cause a lot of damage. You don’t have to be victimized, however, if you just exercise caution. If you receive a concerning email stating “Violations Have Been Detected On Your Page”, don’t trust it; instead, contact Facebook directly.

My husband and myself were looking for a company to not only build our website, but also attract people to it. Nabil and all Omaha SEO staff were beyond amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. I am so grateful for their guidance throughout this whole process and I recommend them ten times over!

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.
