How to identify a Fake Facebook Account

                I came across almost more than 7 fake facebook account recently, and the best part is that no one cares to think if it's a fake account or not. Most of the Men/ Boys around facebook and other social networking sites, mostly wants to flirt with girls, and make new friends and i don't mean any negativeness to the fact. Even I want to make new friends and flirt with girls.

                But the question is that are you really talking to a girl, many guys, who are ditched by some girl or hackers and to take revenge open a fake facebook account and use them in many ways. And most of us without even knowing the fact that they are fake, we ping them. Even i had a fake account which get's 7 pings/minute with all unique's by 2 minutes.

               This post is all about finding/ to identify which are the fake accounts and which are not.

1. Take a look at the friends list, If the number of friends are less than .1k or more than 1k's, you have to stop and think, it might be a fake account. If the Friends list are hidden...

2. The Photos tab, check if it is low, if it tingling over single or double digits, again It might be fake.

              These above two points may only be valid if both are not customized/ hidden. and even if they are not, it might be a new account. To confirm it, Just do the below.

The Profile Picture, you have to download it or take a screenshot of it, and the go to Google's image search. Follow as shown in the image below..



The result's is the next part, you can see the links at which the image is being displayed, mostly it tends to some A rated site. By this you can clearly find out if it is a fake account. This applies to all social sites, and not only facebook. Many fake accounts are being created every single day. Report the account as soon as you know it is fake. Think alike. 

P.S.: Don't ask me if the profile pic includes some actors or actresses image. Working over it and it only happens in India [i think so],.
