I'm a relatively passive admin for a few Facebook groups. I have noticed a serious uptick in these myself, and want to be sure that others know about this copyright infringement or trademark scam. Basically if someone tells you via messenger that you're in violation of anything in Facebook and it risks your account, don't click on anything. Legitimate messages from Facebook will show up as notices in your actual news feed. They will be incredibly clearly labeled as having been sent by Facebook.
Anything other than that is a scam. Clicking any links can actually cause you to lose your account to hackers, so don't.
The Facebook copyright infringement scam appears to have intensified, with users reporting being locked out of their accounts with little help to restore their access.
