Meta Policy Violation Scam
Considering the organisation being contacted does not use Meta advertising this is obviously a scam, most probably a phishing attempt to obtain login details such as username and password. This would enable the scammers to use Meta services for nefarious purposes with any comeback directed at the person whose account it was.

From: Meta Manager Support meta@trustyhelp.site
To: [E-mail address redacted]
Reply to: Meta Manager Support metabusiness@fbsp.com
Subject: Meta Manager Support - "Policy Violation Notice Newbold Baptist Church: Misleading Advertising Detected"
Notes: The sender and reply to e-mail addresses do not seem what you might expect of an email from the meta company. The Trustyhelp.site domain was only registered 1 day ago (23rd May 2025), the FBSP.com domain name was registered a good number of years ago but neither domain name is displaying a website.
The click through link "Submit Review Request" links to https://rebrand.ly/d1436d which is a domain name shortening service which could re-direct just anywhere.
Threats are made in the email of being "permanently suspended" and of "irreversible penalties" in the hope of you being rushed into clicking on the link.
Recommendation:
Just delete the e-mail do not click on the link.
