New scam targets Facebook page owners

A new scam targeting Facebook page owners uses Facebook messages and a fake verification page to obtain user logins and passwords.

The phishing scam begins with a Facebook message from a “Security Team” profile that uses Facebook’s security logo. The message tells admins that their page is in violation of terms of service and threatens to permanently suspend the user’s account. Then it offers users the option to “verify” their account if they believe the situation is a mistake.
