Have you received an email from Facebook saying someone recently asked to reset your Facebook password? And "that" somebody is NOT you who requested the reset?
I get that occasionally and it's annoying. I did click the option where if it was not me who wanted to reset my password, to notify Facebook. I wonder if someone is trying to really 'hack' me? Nothing to hack on Facebook since I hardly post anything. And 99.9% of the people on my friend list I know and have personally met. Except for 2 people but I knew them from being a moderator from a different site that no longer exists.
What do you do in this position?

@infatuatedbby I did read that if data is one of the first words before the address, it is a phony site. If you see that, close out.

I really don't use FB much these days although this last month I think I used it a little more, just posting items to my ManMadeKnitting Page, don't do anything else there. Had no emails though about Password.

I have had this before from an ex. Not sure what he was trying to do. He kept trying to get into my account.

No one has my email really so I don't know who it may be. I changed my password directly on Facebook.

Yes - I responded that it was not me whom requested, but I changed my password just encase.
