Is This A Scam Or What?
I've had an email from Meta as follows
A new payment method was added to Meta Pay
Hi Jno,
Your Visa · 6267 has been securely saved. You can now use this payment method with Meta Pay to make purchases, send money and donate to the causes you care about across Facebook and Messenger.
If you didn't add this payment method to Meta Pay, please contact us immediately.
As far as I can see it's genuine. It comes from [email protected], it gets my email and name right, and the Contact Us link goes to https:/
But I don't have a payment card on FB (even now, despite the email) and haven't tried to enter one, and don't have a Visa card 6267.
What's going on here? Has someone innocently tried to add a card to my account? Do I have to notify Meta or can I ignore the whole thing?

It reminds me of the time the credit card company said my card had been compromised. It turned out someone had mistyped her card number when paying her mortgage - easily traced because they had her address! An innocent mistake but I still wonder how it was made with nobody noticing. Maybe something similar has happened with FB.
