Aye, it's suspended. I clicked on my "New Tab page Facebook icon, the same icon I've used for years. It takes me to a Facebook screen saying I'm suspended and must verify my account. The email's address seems legit. Searching the web reveals that selfie head video verification is indeed a Facebook requirement in some instances.
If you didn't have a cell phone before, what does Farcebook have to compare with? This is probably genuine FB, but still scammy.

I was wondering the same thing. Do they compare it to any pictures you might have posted to see if it matches or something?
Yeah, it seems utterly screwy to me too, for the reasons mentioned above. Furthermore, the initial email received from Facebook makes it seem as if they think I have a business account, which I most certainly do not. Here is that initial email, minus parts removed due to privacy concerns:
INITIAL FACEBOOK EMAIL"We’ve noticed some unusual activity on your Facebook account and have restricted its access to advertising. Any ads connected to your account are currently disabled.

After reading the above, I immediately clicked my FACEBOOK ICON to ensure it wasn't a scam. It took me to a FIX YOUR ACCOUNT page, which initiates the facecam verification process. Upon hastily closing that page, I received the Facebook email saying my account was suspended. NOTE that all these Facebook emails are designated as "no reply".
