How to identify fake Facebook accounts?

When we are doing facebook, we often receive friend requests from strangers~~

So at this time, shall we pass or fail or pass?

Ps: For the new Facebook account that you just registered, please add friends carefully, otherwise it is a high probability of being blocked. I won't talk about this topic much, and interested friends can see here:

So, if we simply discuss whether to add Facebook friends, whether to pass his application (maybe a marketing account)

Then I suggest that you check the person’s information according to the following criteria before you click through. Although it is not 100% sure whether it is a fake account, it at least allows you to have a basic judgment and reduce the risk of requesting through a fake account.

1. Look at the avatar

Behind the young girls on FB............ It is likely that they are all a group of African brothers...... (How big is the shadow area in my heart after knowing the truth?)

When browsing other people's Facebook pages, you have to learn to look at the avatar first.

Under normal circumstances, fake accounts often use female avatars. Photos of very pure or sexy beauty are the most popular, mainly to attract other users to chat.

If you have questions about the avatar (for example, the picture is not a portrait or a photo of a beautiful woman), save the picture, and then perform a reverse search on the photo.

Go to Google Image Search, drag the image directly into the search box, and Google will automatically check the photo for you online. You can also copy the image URL and paste the URL in Google Image.

Address: https://images.google.com/

In the search results, if the photo still appears on other websites, such as some image downloading websites, dating websites, especially those adult websites that are not allowed to enter under the age of 18, then the Facebook account is very likely to be fake .

Reverse search for photos can also use TinEye to upload pictures.

Address: https://www.tineye.com/

Look at the search results and see if the image appears on other websites. Look at the picture below, the result of 0 indicates that this photo may be a real photo of this person, and this FB account may be real

2. Look at the timeline

Fake accounts generally have some things in common on the timeline:

◎ Mainly female (of course not all female accounts are fake accounts);

◎ Few updates, or almost no comments on their updates;

◎ The uploaded photos are rarely tagged by friends, and they are rarely tagged by friends;

◎ The updates are all spam links.

3. Look at the profile

Some fake accounts do not have any information in the personal profile, so they leave a contact number. But generally speaking, a real account will not easily disclose your contact information to the public.

The owners of fake accounts are very lazy. They either don’t carefully fill in the information of where they live and where they work, or they just fill in a more famous and popular city, such as:

Teacher at New York University

Lives in New York

From New York

4. See their friends

First look at the number. After all, FB accounts with thousands of friends are still in the minority, but it does not mean that there are no people with so many friends.

So, seeing this kind of account with thousands of friends, well, you have to be prepared for it may be a fake account.

Secondly, it depends on where their friends are. The more local friends, the more likely it is to be a real account. If the people on the friends list are all people from all over the world and there are few local friends, it’s worth thinking about

5. Watch user activity

Generally, people who really want to use Facebook will often come up to update their status.

If you have doubts about an account, look at what activities the account has had recently. If it frequently posts status updates, posts photos, and is tagged by friends, it may be a real account.

If he just keeps adding new friends, has never liked the page, or has not joined any groups, it may be a fake account. He opened this account just to increase friends, and he might want to sell something later.

6. Birthday is January 1

It's very simple. The fake account may not have so much thought to set up these information carefully. Setting it to January 1st is the easiest operation. So when you see such an account, you pay attention.

Have you found a lot of fake QQ accounts, all registered addresses are (Beijing Dongcheng)? Based on the above judgment, we will be able to see if an account is valuable and is our goal to add.

I hope these little Tips can help you identify the authenticity of most accounts. If you have a better idea, you are welcome to add it On Read.cash and help more peoples~~
