Meta for Business email, restricted account seems legit?

Wife doesn't really use her Facebook account and surprised to get an email from Meta for Business stating her account has been restricted.

"After a review of your Facebook Account (name),  it's access to advertising is now restricted because of inauthentic behaviour or
violations of our Advertising Policies or Community Guidelines.

Any ads connected to this Facebook Account that were running are now disabled"

Seen comments stating this is a scam and not Facebook but all links at first glance appear to be directly to Facebook and nothing to be gained
from the email, it's a noreply email address which is Facebook.

Account has a small handful of close family members and she did signup to a hobby group where people did sell things, but it took so long
for them to accept her she didnt bother going back and not used Facebook since.

Only 2 links in the email, "Business Help Center" Genuine simple URL to Facebook.  2nd is a Get started link to request another review which is
longer and possibly hiding a redirect, not fully inspected that as yet.

Obviously not a Business and rarely used Facebook and not used in the past 2 years, possibly just before that.

Anyone else had the same? Spotted anything suspicious that I may have missed?
Thanks.

  • Was the wife using Facebook in relation to her business?

    Facebook is cracking down on personal accounts that are related to a business, grey accounts!

    She does not own or run a business.  As mentioned FB account created because her family were all posting stuff.

    She joined a hobby group after being told they sometimes sell stuff cheaply but it took them ages to accept the
    registration and by that time she had decided she didnt like FB. Only commented 3 times to her sister which was
    over 2 years ago. No interaction with the hobby group for buying or selling and never used for anything else.
