FB Warning message

Did anyone else get a message on FB warning that their account will be closed because of profane language? I got this weird message, and it looks like a scam to me (strange characters). It also said to click "here," which made me suspicious. Let me know if you got this.
Thanks,
Louise

I've never received anything like that but I never use profanity. Online anyway....

LOL, Rocksea, neither do I! That's why I thought it was so odd. I just do normal family/friends stuff on FB and sweeps.

I have used profanity on many occasions on facebook and have never gotten scolded.

But that's the thing: I never use profanity on FB! I'm thinking it's a scam because it provides a link to click on, and I've never seen that on FB before!

I don't believe (but could be wrong) that you can't get a warning because of your "language" on facebook. Theres something known as the First Ammendment that still protects us if we wish to use more "colorful" words...even on Facebook, and many people choose to do so.

Grace & Peace

As long as Facebook isn't the goverenment, it has the right to regulate speech on its platform. The First Amendment protects your speech from the government only.

Anything like that that requires you to click on a link should be viewed with suspicion (sp) and I would really think twice before clicking on it.

I'd say scam, there are a lot of pics posted with profanity, if it was not allowed those would be closed down and unable to post.

Thank you all for your comments. I do believe that it's a scam.

Just to clarify: I DO NOT USE PROFANTIY on FB. That was the first tip-off that it was scammy.

Feisty Girl, thanks for that link...it validates my suspicions!
