Real platform account suspensions and policy enforcement actions are communicated through in-app notifications and the platform's authenticated support portal (e.g., Facebook Help Center, Instagram Support, Twitter Help Center); platforms never require users to verify their identity by clicking an external link in a cold inbound email to lift a policy-violation suspension. This pattern exploits the anxiety of losing access to a social presence, follower base, or business page to coerce rapid credential submission. Distinct from e-commerce-account-verification-phish (online marketplace account modality) and paypal-account-hold-phish (financial platform account hold) — this targets the social media platform / suspended-for-policy-violations / verify-identity-to-restore-access pretext. Detection: account suspended/suspension + policy violation + verify identity to restore/regain access vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3.
