Facebook has put many barriers to stop fake Facebook accounts but despite all these measures many people create fake accounts. You can identify the fake profiles by some easy steps and checking just few things.
We have listed the four easy steps through which you can easily identify fake profiles. To make things easy we have also created a small video tutorial which will help you in identifying fake profiles.
If you follow these steps then you will easily identify whether a particular account is genuine or fake:
1) Fake accounts usually put a single profile picture this is because they don’t want to reveal their identity.
2) Some time they use pictures from different sites as their profile picture but you can easily identify it by using google. Visit images.google.com and click on the camera icon and then upload the image which you want to search. After clicking search google will reveal that where the picture was upload for the first time.
3) Check the timeline of the account because people don’t change their account on few months. You can also check what sort of things are being shared, if you see spamming and tagging then it is a sign of fake account.
4) Friend list can also help you in identifying whether the account is real or not. If a female has added only male friends, or a male account is adding only females then it is also a sign of the account being fake.
