Fake Facebook Profiles ??!??

fake facebook profiles Fake Facebook Profiles are one of the most annoying and even dangerous issues that facebookers (facebook users) face, and one of the most challenging problems for the facebook admins, so efforts to eliminate such profiles are set to the max!

According to breaking weird news, Facebook Fake Profiles were dangerous enough to get some guy from Morocco arrested for making a fake facebook profile for Prince Moulay Rachid, the younger brother of King Mohammed VI.
Expensive enough to get another one sued by £17,000 for damages against a former schoolfriend accused of putting a fake gay profile of some businessman on the social networking website Facebook.
And serious enough for the Dean of one of the biggest colleges at Cambridge to set up a fake Facebook profile to keep an eye on his students after they have formed a protest group to complain about a change in drinking laws.

Why would people create fake facebook profiles?

  1. Shallow relationships: "lovers" testing and teasing each others, teasing by fake comments of fake profiles, testing each other by fake flirts or  msgs!
  2. Monitoring: monitering people (students, employees ... ) lives by fake personalities!
  3. Business: forcing some business to grow by making it popular through many profiles!
  4. Revenge: broken people creating humiliating fake profiles for those who hurt them!
  5. Psychos: males creating profiles for females and vice versa.
  6. Some people are just sick: stupid pointless people like to fool around!

So here are some tips to guide you detect fake facebook profiles:
