Pages on Facebook repeatedly claim to be part of the company and threaten that pages will be closed due to alleged copyright violations if you do not verify yourself via a certain link.
But these links are phishing scams, which means you will lose your entire account!

The fake accounts

Currently, the fake accounts always have the name “Social Network Registry Corporation” followed by a random number. Their posts look like this:

MIMIKAMA
The posts on Facebook

If you click on “Show more”, you can see that there are always several company pages tagged on Facebook, which then see this posting in their timeline and believe that the message directly refers to them:

MIMIKAMA
Tagged companies in the postings

The post in full:

“Your Page has been detected for activity that goes against Facebook Page's policies regarding copyright infringement.

For security reasons, please verify your account by clicking the link below. [Phishing link]
If you do not confirm, you will not be able to manage your pages and your account will be deactivated.”

It is therefore alleged that the page violated Facebook's rules regarding copyright and that for security reasons you have to verify yourself via a link, otherwise your account would be deactivated.

What happens when you click on the link

If you now click on the link, you will be directed to a page that does not belong to Facebook, which is easily recognizable by its usually very cryptic URL:

MIMIKAMA
The fake login page

After entering the data, the criminals then have the login data and therefore full access to the account, including of course the admin rights to pages and groups!

Tip

If you are unsure whether a login page is real, you should simply try to log in with imaginary data, for example username: serfgerfxd@esrgrte.com , password: fgbvdrffgbcvfddg .

Pages like the one above often require double entry, but you can also use alphabet jumble for the second entry. If this input works, you can be sure that you have landed on a fake page!

Such fraudulent sites appear again and again, and they often have names like “Facebook Support” or “Facebook Security”.
