Always read suspicious emails carefully and look for signs of a scam before you act . Remember scammers love to target social media accounts , so fake alerts are not uncommon .
— Verify the claims . Log into your Facebook account directly to verify there is a problem before deciding how to proceed .
— Always log in to your account directly . Even if you think an alert is authentic , use your social media app to log in or enter the URL in the browser bar by typing it , not by clicking on a link sent to you .
— Guard your login credentials carefully . Never enter your login information on a third-party website or a page other than the official Facebook website . Never send your login information to someone via email or Facebook Messenger . If you entered your login credentials into a fake form , change your password immediately .
