Dhaka, Bangladesh – April 2025 – HaxyGen Corporation & Academy has issued a public warning regarding a fraudulent Facebook page deletion scam that is currently targeting businesses and organizations. The scam involves fake emails falsely claiming that a Facebook page has violated copyright policies and will be permanently deleted unless immediate action is taken.
Recently, HaxyGen received such an email, which was identified as a phishing attempt designed to steal login credentials.
How the Scam Works
Scammers send an email posing as Meta (Facebook’s parent company), stating that the recipient’s Facebook page has violated copyright policies. The email urges the page owner to click on a “Fix Issue” button to request a review. However, clicking on the link leads to a fake login page, allowing attackers to steal credentials and take control of the victim’s account.
Key Signs of the Fake Email
- Fake Sender Address: The email originates from an unofficial domain, not “@facebook.com” or “@meta.com”.
- Urgency & Fear Tactics: The message threatens immediate deletion of the page to create panic.
- Suspicious Links: Clicking the provided button leads to an external website designed to steal login credentials.
- No Official Notification on Facebook: Real violations appear in Facebook’s Support Inbox, not via random emails.
Official Statements from HaxyGen
Chairman & CEO, Mr. S.K.M. AL RAFI TONOY stated:
“This is a clear attempt by cybercriminals to hijack social media accounts. We are committed to maintaining a secure digital environment and encourage everyone to stay cautious against such scams.”

What You Should Do If You Receive a Similar Email

- Log into Facebook separately and check the Support Inbox for real violations.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for additional protection.
- Report the email as phishing and delete it immediately.
