Fake Copyright Notice
on Facebook Reviews
DID YOU GET A NOTICE LIKE THIS?
How do you know it’s a scam?

Facebook would not notify you via public post on your reviews page
Suspicious link that is obviously not on Facebook
Profile name that doesn’t make sense
24 Hour notice to comply (or some other non-sense timeframe)
Threat of permanent block of your account
Signed “FB Security” - official Facebook communication is not going to abbreviate it’s name
The notice contains poor grammar
Why did you get this notice? Most likely your Facebook page is popular enough the scammers think it is worth it to hijack your account. When you click the link it will ask you to verify your account. Once you enter your Facebook credentials the scammers will take over your account. They will either use it for scams or charge a ransom to regain access.
