1/ I almost just fell for a scam on @facebook. It was quite convincing and pushed all the right buttons! So a page I'm admin on got this message:
2/ Clicking through goes to here (I was concentrating on checking the URL - still in facebook - so didn't really notice the obvious mistakes in the text)
3/ Clicking on the submit link finally took me to a dodgy URL but it I wasn't looking, the of the page looked like a facebook page and asked for passport details!
4/ So how was that done? Well Page Policy was an account (but now misspelt so why wasn't that reflected in the message and also why?)
5/ No Reply was another account who made set of notes called help-center (I think!)
6/ So now I've found these scam accounts, I'll do the right thing and report them for impersonating facebook...
7/ Ah here we are
8/ Oh
9/ I know the signs were there but this was so believable as facebook are this opaque, arbitrary, intrusive and unhelpful usually!
