Trace a Fake Facebook Account and Find it Out

Do you chat with a person regularly on Facebook and you have any doubt either this account is fake or not? In this article, I have discussed the way that you can track a Facebook user and find out whatever the person is a fake Facebook user and this will help you spot the fake person on Facebook.

 

 

I have personally experienced that whenever I suspect a person this person does not have a DP on profile neither has any mutual person who comments on his/her pictures as a friend.

 

 

 

 

You have to look for the profile link and check if anything that tells the reality of that account. Normally, the fake account holder behind tries to increase the followers and if the account belonged to someone else previously, you will see the name in that profile link.

 

 

 

 

If the person departs made any changes to its profile link while making that fake account, you can catch from there, as you know Facebook does not allow multiple times to change your profile link username and that is the advantage you can take to catch a profile if this is a fake account on Facebook.

 

☞ I used this way to view a private Facebook that you can apply to find even the fake profiles.

 

Another thing that you have to check, is the profile picture. I have seen many times that the fake account holder uploads different types of pictures of different people in that profile.

 

What do you do for your profile? Upload your own images right?

 

But such stupid would not do that. He uploads different types of images on profile and tries to attract more followers. The main intention you have to look if it’s for getting more followers on Facebook. The person who is behind the fake account always tries to attract the followers count to use that fall in his own personal use.

 

If you are confused about whether someone created a fake profile on your name, finding that is very easy. If you are wondering whether it is possible to trace IP address a fake Facebook account or not, yes you can do it.

 

You have to do a reverse image search on Google to find all of your fake account registered on different social media platform either on Facebook, Instagram or in any other social media platforms.

 

For this, you have to go to google.com and from there click on the in the image-search icon.

 

Before doing that: just keep a few your images ready that you have posted online on your Facebook or in any other social media platforms.

 

Now perform the image search on Google using those pictures one by one and look at the results shown to you.

 

This will show your original images as you are using those uses for your search and also the other links if available with these similar images if on any other profile.

 

 

If the person or anyone has made an account on Facebook then images will reflect on the search with a Facebook.com link at the start.

 

This reverse search works in search engines like Yahoo, Bing and Google and this method helpful finding the fake profiles if were present a long ago also.

 

Now another option you can choose from the Facebook login page.

 

 

While you are trying to log in, sometimes you will need your profile image to help Facebook identifying your profile that you want to log into.

 

If you see multiple accounts present in the search results while you made the image search, you will get all of the lists of fake account that added with your original account in that search result.

 

This is the easiest option that you can use for checking the current fake profile made on your name.

 

If you have found the fake account, you can take action on that profile either legally or technically.

 

 

I see many celebrities or famous persons take actions by complaining to the local authority by informing the fake account details registered on their name. But, this is recommended only when the case is severe and go to such an extent where complaining becomes must to do a thing.

 

But if you want to go for a technical approach then you can just inform the host of the platform (like if it is on Facebook) then you have to inform this to Facebook. This process takes time and takes hard work that definitely makes your goals succeed by closing all of the fake accounts by the Facebook team.

 

In my experience, while I contacted the Facebook team for my account verification, they replied within 72 hours and asked for the legal document proofs (i.e. driving licence, Green Card) and once they verified the original one, all of the fake accounts on my name with personal images were deactivated on my request.

 

☛ If you want to prevent someone from stealing here Facebook posts or images then you can set privacy to prevent such people to make a fake account in the future with your images.

 

 

If you want to use your Facebook account with your friends you can set your privacy to only ‘Friends’ or to ‘Specific friends’. This secures your profile a more in a standard way by stopping your posts from appearing on the friends of friends timeline.

 

Definitely, Facebook will not tell you the IP address of such a person who is using a fake profile on your name. You have many ways to do to identify and catch that person with the flaws that you had made on his work but this does not reveal the IP address of such a person.

 

The only way you can get the IP address of such a person who is using your fake Facebook account now or before, just from the local authority. I mean the police.

 

Yes, Facebook shares the details with the local law authority where they are doing the business.

 

I think this is an extreme case that you may try rarely.

 

Once you get the IP address of the person, by taking help from the ISP the authority will be able to find out the person who was behind that fake Facebook account and then you can take your actions accordingly what you want by the law.

 

 

 

 

So if you are looking for a solution for a fake account and for suggestion either it is a fake account or not then this guide has shown all of the steps and measures that you have to take to find out the person behind the fake ID on Facebook.
