Fake Facebook | Profile [updated]

Scroll down their wall. A real person has a history: birthday posts from 2017, an argument about a movie from 2019, a blurry vacation photo from last year. A fake profile was usually created last Tuesday . If there are 500 photos but zero interactions older than a week, run.

Red flag.

Within three messages, they will ask you to "Check out this video" or "Vote for my niece here." Never click links from strangers. That link is likely a phishing site designed to steal your login credentials. What To Do If You Find One If you suspect a profile is fake, do not engage. Do not reply. Do not call them out in the comments (that just tells them you are active). fake facebook profile
