Facebook Protect concerns

[Deleted User]

Has anyone else received an email from security@facebookmail.com referencing the need to follow a route to Facebook Protect and if you did, which is the easiest of the three options.?

That is not a genuine Facebook email address,  I would be suspicious of anything from that address.
