In today’s digital world, encountering various types of traps is possible, especially when it comes to social media accounts. It is necessary to be more careful, particularly with regard to social media accounts, due to the steps taken to steal account information via Meta. Here are the details about the Meta scam method!
Scammers are emerging, just like Meta!
In a typical situation, when you check your email account’s spam folder, you’ll see numerous phishing attempts. However, not every scammer approaches you in the same way. Especially in recent times, scammers engaged in phishing are trying different methods to obtain your crucial information.
According to reports, scammers are trying a new method amid increasing issues. In this approach, scammers impersonate the Meta identity. Additionally, they warn users that their accounts are in violation of “copyrights.”
They also state that if you do not appeal this strange decision, Meta will delete your account within 12 hours. Cautious users recognize this message as a scam because under normal circumstances, Meta cannot delete an account 12 hours after sending a warning email.
Furthermore, upon closer inspection, it is possible to realize that the email address does not belong to Meta. The email address is formatted as “contacthelpchannelcopyrights.com,” which is not a Meta URL. However, many people may not notice this.
After receiving the email, many users, without conducting any review and to avoid losing their accounts, click on the appeal button. In this case, a fake Meta Violation Status Center Portal will appear. On the site you enter for the process, they ask for your information. Therefore, it is essential to be cautious of spam emails in your inbox.
