How to Detect a Fake Facebook Business Page

In today's digital landscape, where online interactions are the norm, it's crucial to equip ourselves with tools to navigate the virtual world safely.

Detecting a fake business page on Facebook is an essential skill that empowers you to protect your personal information.

Key signs to look out for include:

• Spelling errors in the URL or in other content on the page.
• Follower counts that are suspiciously low or extremely high.
• There are no recent posts on the page.
• Hours of operation list "always open."
• Company contact information is missing or looks unusual.
• Look closely at the email address—it may look similar to the business name but it is misspelled and uses a free email service such as Gmail.
• The contact phone number may include the WhatsApp telephone icon.

By fostering a curious and vigilant mindset, you can safeguard your online experience and protect your financial wellbeing.
