Tips
to find Whether a Facebook Account in fake?
1. GOOGLE
IMAGE SEARCH:
Usually a Fake
Account does not have original profile picture usually it is downloaded from Google
images. So this trick works almost for all fake accounts.
Procedure:
- First download
the profile picture of the Account, which you want to verify and save it
on your computer in a specified location.
- But Some
accounts will have Private as settings to the Profile picture at that time
you feel difficult to download the picture.
- Then launch
any browser in your computer and go to Google Images.
- Drag and drop
the downloaded profile picture in the Google image search bar from your
computer.
- And then click
on search icon.
Then Google will
return the images that exactly match or the images that look similar to the
Profile picture you have uploaded in Google image search. With this you can
also get the location from where the image has been downloaded. Location means
the pages that include the matched image in the web.
2. READ
PROFILE COMPLETELY:
Second trick is
reading the profile information of the account completely from this you can
analyze the originality and correctness of any Face book account. Because the
fake account creators does not concentrate on information given by them during
account creation.
For example:
Consider the
Education details of any original Face book account usually details furnished
there will match logically with one other. But in the case of fake Face book
account they do not match logically in the 90% of the cases.
Like above example there exist no logical connections between the details
furnished in the fake Account in almost all the cases. This trick must be
applied by using some common sense and verify the details very keenly. So, that
you can conclude whether a Face book account is fake by the presence of non
ideal links in the profile information.
3. CHECK
FRIEND LIST:
This is the most
important aspect that must be checked in the process of finding whether a Face
book account is fake. Usually in most cases these fake Face book Accounts are
created by the teenagers to make a relationship with opposite gender or to make
fun with friends.
Most of the fake Face book accounts will have maximum number of friends from
the opposite gender. In this case, it can be assumed that this profile is to
make fun with others or friends.
The other chance is there will be no interconnection or relationship between
the friends in the friend list of fake accounts in most of the cases. In this
case the fake account is mostly used to spam your profile or to inflate fans to
certain pages.
4. LOOK
PHOTOS IN PROFILE:
This tip helps
somewhat to identify the fake Face book account. Look the photos in the profile
of the Account; if you find only one photo which belongs to an individual then
you can conclude that the Account is fake one. But in some cases it may give wrong
results also because, some of the genuine profiles will also have only one
photo in their profile.
But it is one of the chances to identify the fake one.
5. CHECK
THE RECENT ACTIVITIES:
If the account user
is keep on adding the unknown persons and opposite gender persons to the friend
list and making them as friends but not liking any of the pages and not joined
in any group. This activities show that the user is concentrating on only
adding friends. Then the doubt of fake account starts. This is measure to find
the fake Face book accounts.
And also check the recent wall posts, if you come to lots of people asking the
person "do I know you (or) who are you" but these questions remain
unanswered. Then you can conclude the Account is fake.
Some
other tips...
- Search their
profile name in online if it looks unusual, if it returns the results then
you can get to know about him if it is not common.
- If the account
you want to check belongs to a girl. We know that girls won't keep their
contact number in Face book. if you find that contact number then the
chance of fake account is somewhat high.
- If you find
any information in that account which is not exposed by normal users then
you can consider that account as fake one.
- Check the
timeline of the account which shows the presence of the person in Face
book from which you can conclude.
By the above tricks
we can conclude whether a Face book account is fake one up to 70% correctly. If
