The scenario is often identical. A user thinks they're receiving a Facebook or Messenger notification. By clicking, they arrive on an external site designed to steal their credentials.

Why Facebook is particularly targeted

Facebook remains one of the most used platforms worldwide. Fraudsters exploit this familiarity by reproducing the visual codes of the Meta ecosystem.

⚠️ A notification that appears to come from Facebook should never be trusted based solely on its appearance. The only decisive element is the exact address displayed in the browser.

Warning signs

  • The notification insists on immediate action
  • The link leads to an unknown domain (not facebook.com)
  • The page asks you to log in again without clear reason
  • A verification code is requested on an external site
💡 When in doubt, never use the received link. Open the official Facebook app directly.
