Notes:
The sender email address appears to be a genuine facebook address but there are ways that the sender email address can be faked.
The click through web address: https://ahihi.uno/help is a definite "red flag"... it is not a facebook web address, a .uno extension being a less common domain extension possibly obtained by the scammers with an introductory discount. Furthermore a whois check showed that the ahihi.uno domain name was only registered on the 10th Feb 2026, a genuine facebook webpage would have been in existence longer than just a few weeks.
Recommendation: Do not clck on the link, Ignore and delete the email
