Here are some tips for identifying fake profiles:

• Look for profiles with generic usernames or profile names that don’t sound like real people’s names.
• Be wary of profiles with very few friends or followers.
• Check for profiles with stolen or fake photos.
• Look for profiles that post suspicious content, such as scams, spam, or hate speech.

If you see something that looks suspicious, report it to Facebook.
