Do not respond to the email. Facebook will never request your password, and we advise against providing your login information to anyone under any circumstances.

Spammers and scammers sometimes create phony emails that look like they’re from Facebook. These emails can be very convincing. Even the “From:” field can be spoofed to include “Facebook” or “The Facebook Team.”

These emails might look like:

• Notifications about friend requests, messages, events, photos, and videos
• False accusations that you are abusing the site
• Warnings that something will happen to your account if you don't update it or take another immediate action

If an email looks strange, don’t click any of the links in it or open any attachments. Note that Facebook will never send you a password as an attachment.

If you think you received a fake Facebook email, let us know.

This message is part of a false chain letter and did not come from Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook. This message can be safely disregarded and deleted. For more information on current scams, chain letters, and how to avoid them, please visit the "Threats" tab of the Security Page.

You can upload email addresses through the Friend Finder to help you connect with Friends. You can send messages to these contacts, including emails about your recent Facebook activity. Facebook may send up to two reminder emails to contacts. You can remove all of your imported contacts here.

You can remove contacts you uploaded using friend finder here.

Although we cannot retract invitations that have already been sent, you can delete contacts from your Invite History list. This will prevent any future invitation reminders from being sent to these people.

If you would like to stop receiving invitation or reminder emails from Facebook users, simply follow the instructions located at the bottom of any email message from Facebook.

You received this email because a Facebook member is inviting you to join Facebook. Facebook allows members to send invites to their contacts by entering an email address or by uploading their contacts.

If you're already registered for Facebook, your friend may have submitted an email address of yours that is not currently linked to your Facebook account. If you'd like to, you can add this email address to your existing Facebook account to ensure that you won't get Facebook invites sent to you in the future.

If you are not already a Facebook member and would like to join, you can use this email to start the registration process.

If you wish to no longer receive invites from your friends, you can use the unsubscribe link in the footer of the email.

If you are receiving emails from Facebook, it’s because your friends, or other Facebook users who may know you, have sent you invitations to join the site. People with Facebook accounts can import their contacts to Facebook and send email invitations to those friends. The emails may include the names of other people, besides the person who sent the invite, who have imported your email address to Facebook already or previously sent you an invitation, or friends of the person who sent you the invitation. This helps you find potential connections on Facebook, so you can find and start sharing with them if you decide to join.

• If you'd like to join, you can click on the link in the email to sign up for an account and start communicating with your friends.
  
• If you do not wish to join Facebook or receive emails from Facebook users, you can opt out by clicking the link at the bottom of the email. When you opt out of emails, your email address won't be used for making friend suggestions, but it will remain on our server in hashed form so that we can prevent emails to you in the future.

To control what email notifications Facebook sends to you, simply go to the Notifications tab of the Account Settings page.

If the notification is from an application, you can block any application on Facebook. To block an application, navigate to the application’s about page. At the top right of the page will be a "Block Application" option.

If you requested a password reset but didn't receive your password reset email:

1. Check the spam or junk mail folder in your email account. Sometimes these emails are misdirected.
2. Check all of the email accounts and mobile numbers connected to your Facebook account. When you request a password reset, you'll see a list of the email addresses and mobile numbers confirmed on your account. You'll have the option to send the password reset email to some or all of these accounts. Note: For security reasons, parts of the email addresses and phone numbers will be hidden (ex: fxxxxxxk@fxxxxxxk.com, xxxxxxx5555).
3. Try to reset your password again.
4. If you still don't receive the email after requesting a password reset a second time, wait 24 hours and try again. We may be experiencing temporary site issues.
5. If you’re still not receiving your password reset email after the trying the four steps above, contact your Internet Service Provider (ex: Comcast) to make sure they’re not blocking email traffic coming from Facebook.

Tip: If you try to reset your password too many times too quickly, you may be temporarily blocked from requesting a password reset. If this happens, wait 24 hours and try again.

Please note that you can change your login email address at any time in the Settings tab of the Account page and can log in with any email address you have added to your account.

If you no longer have access to an email address associated with your Facebook account, you will need to contact your email service provider in order to regain access to that address.

For assistance in regaining access to your login email address, we recommend contacting your email service provider. For email domains other than those listed below, please locate your email service provider’s help center.

• Gmail
• Hotmail
• Yahoo!

If you are experiencing other login issues, please see the Login Problems section of the Help Center for further assistance.

Please note that if you are having trouble accessing an existing account on the site, please do not create another account, as this is a violation of our Terms of Use and may delay resolution of the issue.

Please try copying and pasting the full link you received into your address bar. Some email providers will separate the link onto several lines, so be sure to copy the entire link. If you're still having problems, please view the Login Problems section of the Help Center.

You may receive an email from Facebook asking you to confirm your email address. You must confirm your account to verify that you have access to the email address you entered during registration. Confirming your account will enable you to send messages, write on your friends’ Walls (timelines), post in discussions, poke, tag your friends, comment, join groups, and fan pages.

If you do not have an account on Facebook and received a confirmation email in error, you can deactivate the account in question by clicking the link at the bottom of the email.

Please try copying and pasting the full link you received into your address bar. Some email clients will separate the link onto several lines, so be sure to copy the entire link. If this does not work, click "Resend Confirmation Email" on the Settings tab of the Account page. If you are still receiving this error message, please report this issue here.

Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue:

• Check your email application's spam or junk folder or filter. Please be aware that some emails may be blocked by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
• Check that you’re trying to log in from the exact email address you registered with. A common error is registering with an incorrect email domain (e.g., @comcast.com is not the same as @comcast.net). In addition, keep in mind that email addresses never begin with a "www" prefix.

If you're still having trouble after the above steps, please click here.

Most likely, someone mistakenly tried to register using your email address. Do not click the link in the email. If you don’t click the link, the account will not be confirmed. An unconfirmed account can remain on the site for a maximum of three days, but it can’t be used to send messages, write on Walls (timelines), post in discussions, poke, tag friends in photos or notes, comment on content, join groups, or like pages. After three days without the email owner’s confirmation, the account will become inaccessible.

If someone created an account to impersonate or imitate you, learn more about how to report this.

Facebook sends a notification to every email address associated with an account when someone has been able to register one of the addresses on the account. This happens when a person clicks on a link sent to the email address when creating a new account, or when adding the address to an existing account.

If you still own the email address in question, you can add it back to your account by going to the "Settings" tab on the Account page and following the same process. You may want to change the password for the email address, as someone else may have been able to access it in order to confirm the contact change.

If you no longer own the address, you will not be able to add it back to your account. If you still own the email address but are unable to access it, please contact your email provider for assistance with regaining access to the address.

If you have received a Facebook reactivation email in error, it is possible that another person has attempted to log in using your email address and password. We recommend that you reset your password to further secure your account. The password you select should be unique, complex, and kept entirely to yourself. You should also make sure that any email addresses associated with your account are secure. Remember that anyone who can read your email can probably also access your Facebook account.

Most likely, this person removed the content from your profile (timeline) before you were able to view it. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to view content after it's been deleted.
