Caution! Fake Facebook security writes to users via the private message channel and asks them to authenticate themselves. At this point, however, we warn against responding to this message and “identifying” yourself.
In the past, we have repeatedly pointed out these fake “Facebook Security” accounts, which ultimately only have one goal: to steal Facebook users’ user data via fake Facebook login pages.
The content of this fraudulent private message reads in accessible plain text:
Warning: Your account will be deactivated!
We have found that the response from your account may not be authentic.
A Facebook is a community where people share and interact with one another using their real identities.
If you want to reactivate your account, please extend your
account
To activate your account, please confirm here:

if you do not immediately confirm a grace period of 24 hours after you receive this message, so sorry we will remove from your account
Thank you for your cooperation

And in this case, too, there is a page behind the inserted link that is modeled on the Facebook login and elicits the inattentive visitor's own data.
The display of these pages on the smartphone display is particularly problematic, as the telltale address of the page is often not displayed.
Gladly used: Facebook Security
The account name “Facebook Security” is very popular because there is actually an official Facebook page with this name. In principle, however, one can say: this site does NOT write private messages to users.
The recreated accounts often have special characters in the name so that they are not found and banned via the search. For example, the name “Fâcebøøĸ Séƈurîƚy”. So anyone who finds strange symbols can be quite sure that it is a message from fraudsters.
