RE OF FAKE ACCOUNT IN FACEBOOK


While Facebook is getting better and identifying fake accounts, it is still possible.  If you get a request from someone you do know but also know you're already connected on Facebook, it is likely they've stolen that person's profile photo and set up a fake account using their name and information.

According  to  face book- Accounts and Pages that impersonate other people go against our Community Standards and aren't allowed on Facebook. If you see an account that's pretending to be you, someone you know or a public figure (example: celebrity, politician), we encourage you to let us know.

Visit the profile of the fake account. Click on the three dots within a circle on the cover photo. A line will appear that says: Give feedback or report this profile. Click or select this line and follow the on-screen instructions Facebook provides for reporting a fake account.

 

Can a fake Facebook account be traced back to you?
Yes. Facebook keeps track of log-in locations and IP information to make sure that accounts are protected from unusual activity and hackers trying to gain access to sensitive information.
