Notes
Ivonne Ackerman, Medstar Ivonne can you let me know who is best for this? No rush, but helpful to have in the future. 

I am going to send this link after onboarding. The scams have been crazy lately and i'd like to keep our clients safe. They especially target people who run ads. Keywords to add: Instagram scam, facebook scam, meta scam

a few to mention:

1. Emails saying "you are in violation of policy" but the emails have poor grammar and not from a legit fb email

2. duplicate friend requests - might mean your friend has been hacked. Do not click on links, vidoes, or link in the "bio" 

3. "Is this you" link scam on DM's

4. "friend" asking for money

5. Link asking you to re-enter your login and password 

6. A page will "tag your profile" saying you are in violation of policy

*at the end blurb how Meta will contact you if there is a real issue. 
* also a blurb on how to contact Meta and appeal if they are victims of a scam 
* how to keep your account safe with two-factor authentication and a strong password . Change password frequently and do not use facebook to sign into any other third-party systems


I will keep researching and adding. I will also try to add screenshots.

I keep getting asked about this almost 3x a week now, even though my warning is in the initial email. This would make a great tool and I think it will rank well
