Scam verdict · Educational pattern check
No — phishing
I got a message saying my Facebook page will be deleted for copyright infringement — is it real?
No. The “Meta copyright violation” warning is a mass phishing campaign: the message, the urgent deadline, and the official-looking “appeal” link are all the costume, and the link leads to a fake login that harvests your password and your page's admin access. Meta doesn't deliver enforcement notices by DM with a link to an outside site. Don't click — check for real violations inside your account's own support inbox instead.
