10 Ways To Identify A Fake User Account On Facebook

NB Commentary:  This is a great article especially for those folks who are not sure if the friend requests is coming from a real person or some nefarious person with nefarious motives.  A while ago, I posted a video on my Facebook page about the Spring Valley School incident where the security guard threw the black female student across the room. In the video, a father from the community talked to the folks at a meeting about what he would do if someone did that to his daughter.

The video got so many hits to my surprise it was up in the thousands within hours. By the end of the day it had gotten 7000 views. Next thing you know, Facebook shut my account down and hard as I tried they did not give me a reason. I couldn't contact anyone and ended up searching online for why Facebook would put you in the Facebook jail.

As a result of being locked out of my account for several days, I opened another account and told all my friends what happened. But as soon as I opened my new account I got a flood of friend requests. One of them was from some dude in Malaysia who claimed to be a Tantric yoga teacher. His profile was really borderline pornography. I sent him a message and asked why did he have those videos on his profile and he explained a ton of things that did not make sense to me as to what that even had to do with Tantra. Having had some knowledge about Tantric yoga, I was aware enough to follow his line of thinking to the toilet bowl. I quickly unfriended him. Several others followed, half naked women, which I found extremely interesting since it can clearly be seen in my profile pic that I am female.

I often read the comments below an article or YouTube video before I respond. Nine times out of 10, when there are several  responses to one comment, it's an argument and sometimes it sounds like the same person under different accounts is arguing with himself. It is so obvious from the style of writing and the vitriol and cursing that goes on between the parties. It's as if they get on there just to fill up the comment section with stupidity.

I am aware of the plants as well. Someone reported on how the "troll/agent" didn't close their window before going to the next comment section and it was recorded. Somehow the information got transferred to someone with a keen eye and they shared the information on the internet.

It is common knowledge that the alphabet intelligence organizations have their spies and patsies so of course with the advent of social media they have to infiltrate social media as well.  Using discernment when interacting with these characters is the first line of defense.

Check out the article below and use some of these tips, they are helpful in avoiding some of these bogus accounts.

10 Ways To Identify A Fake User Account On Facebook

Have you
noticed an increase in friend requests? Have you ever wondered if any of those
are REAL people?

I have a suspicion that many people, especially those of high profile, are being
bombarded with a plethora of fake Facebook friend requests.

Why?

If you are disseminating important information that goes against the Cabal’s agenda, then flooding your 5,000 Facebook friend limit with fake accounts would prevent your information reaching REAL people who would benefit from it.

I check each and every friend request I receive. Numerous times, I have seen at least one Facebook friend listed as a “mutual friend” by such requests. In many of
these profiles, the first and most recent post is porn related. When this happens, I notify the mutual friend and will remind them to take the time to see who they are friending.

But there are other reasons why fake accounts are being created.

According to a report on Tech.Mic, police departments around the nation have taken predictive crime prevention to a new level by building fake user accounts, as well as posing as genuine people to gather information about local events. (1)

10 Ways To Identify A Fake User Account On Facebook

1. Account was made recently 2015, 2016.
2. Account has no history published for earlier years, but Facebook says they have been a member since 2009, etc.
3. Most fake accounts have 1 image or no real profile photo of the person. Some may only have a select few photos over a long span of time. A well seasoned user would have more photos posted over a long period of time. A fake account may have 7-10 photos posted on the same day.
4. User has very few friends in common and or friends in general.
5. There is little to no interaction on their page with friends, no comments, likes or responses over their long time line.
6. Profile picture seems to good to be true, that hot model added you today! They even messaged you and are interested in you!
7. When in doubt use reverse image search. Take their image and see if it is a real person or not.
8. When in doubt deny, deny, deny.
9. The user doesn't “like” any bands, books, or movies.
10. The user doesn't belong to any groups.

A few Facebook tips:

I am probably more judicial than most Facebook users. I won’t add anyone who I can’t see their page, nor will I add anyone who floods their wall with political
posts. If they haven’t posted in at least a month, then chances are, they’re
not active on Facebook, so I won’t add them either.

Of course, there are always exceptions to every rule but in general, these trends
seem to weed out inactive profiles and political clutter on my Facebook feed.

If you go through your friends list, you will see some profiles without a picture.
Many of these users are no longer on Facebook but are still counted against
your 5,000 friend limit.

If you click on their name and they are no longer on Facebook, then you will be
redirected back to your personal Facebook page. At that point, you can
officially “unfriend” them and free up more room to add more people.

Take the time to see who is friending you. Facebook is a numbers game to a lot of
people, but I’d rather have a small number of quality friends than a maxed out
5,000 limit of fake profiles or a plethora of people posting crap I don’t want
to see on my newsfeed.
