PSA: Today I received a "copyright infringement notice" from "Supervision Post" for another of my Facebook accounts. I saw that I could click a URL to have my account reinstated. Simple, right? WRONG!!! The URL was a non-Facebook domain located in Peru. No way I'm entering my password on that domain. If Facebook wants me to do something they would (or should) use a facebook domain, not some bogus looking domain in another country. But if they are incompetent and do use such a domain and my accounts disappear from Facebook, bye-bye everyone.
