Facebook will never ask you for your password in an email or send you a password as an attachment.

Scammers sometimes create fake emails that look like they’re from Facebook. These emails often look like:

• Notifications about friend requests, messages, events, photos and videos.
• False claims that you went against our Community Standards.
• Warnings that something will happen to your account if you don't update it or take a certain action.
• Claims or offers that sound too good to be true (such as winning a Facebook Lottery.)

Note: if an email or Facebook message looks strange, don't open it or any attachments. Instead, report it to phish@fb.com or through the report links that appear throughout Facebook.
