Facebook is a huge social network which contains known and unknown friends. Now a days the unknown fake Facebook profiles are increasing in number as the only requirement to create a Facebook account is an email id. Most of the Facebook users fails to identify the fake profiles and sometimes get caught in trouble because of those fake accounts. So it is our primary duty to be aware of fake Facebook profiles. Here i’m going to share little ideas and suggestions on how to identify a fake Facebook account.




The above profile seems to be a fair Facebook Profile but actually it is a fake profile account.

Identify the Fake Facebook Account By the following

Friends : – If you check the friends of fake profiles there will be more than 500+ friends or some times 1000+ friends from various geographical locations and some times speaking different languages. When you analyze the gender of the friends, most of them will be males.
Activity :- Those who posses the fake accounts will not share anything (some are exceptional and they share some website links). They will not respond to your messages and wall posts.
Profile Image :- Most of the fake profiles posses a picture of a beautiful actress or some times a picture of a girl(who is not linked with that account).
Images/Albums:- If you check out the photos uploaded by them there will be one or two. some accounts posses images that are common ( just like an image of a cat, rose etc). But the images uploaded by their friends will be many.
Information:- The information in a fake Facebook account will not be a complete one. They will not have any full details like interests, religious views, etc as the fake profile creator will not have much time to fill those.
Wall Posts:- The wall posts of a fake profile account will be low.
Use the above methods to find a fake profile account and try to be aware in the social medias. Because most of the cyber crimes takes place in social medias like Facebook.
