These emails can be very convincing. Even the “From:” field can be spoofed to include “Facebook” or “The Facebook Team.”

These emails might look like:

• Notifications about friend requests, messages, events, photos, and videos
• False accusations that you are abusing the site
• Warnings that something will happen to your account if you don't update it or take another immediate action

If an email looks strange, don’t click any of the links in it or open any attachments. Note that Facebook will never send you a password as an attachment.

If you think you received a fake Facebook email, let us know.
