I haven't received this message, and I don't use my authentic name, neither do I have my birthday on there. |

Looks like as fake as it gets. The clue is 'Dear Member'. Any message should use your name given to the site. I would suspect the 'Log in' link will take you to a false page. |

I got kicked out of facebook for not using my name and a group I like is being closed down for the same reason so Yes if you close down and can´t get back in without the message it´s genuine. |

FB is trying to crack down on people using aliases, and have said they will shut down any accounts which are under a false name. They might ask for proof that the name you are using is yours in real life. |

I use my maiden name on FB, and on GR! Married surname isn't a common name. |

Well they'd have trouble asking me to prove the name I use is mine in real life...cos it isn't! |
