How Do I Report A Fake Facebook Account?

☑️ Fake profiles abound on Facebook, unfortunately. I'll show you how to report them.

☑️ Reporting a fake Facebook account
To begin with, make sure you are on the profile of the fake account and not your own or another legitimate account. Then, using the ellipsis menu present on the profile page, report the profile as impersonating you. If enough people report the imposter, something may — or sadly, may not — happen.

No point in regurgitating this shit because Facebook won’t do anything which is absolutely disgusting!

Btw, someone using a fake account and steal my friends content daily in realtime.. But, when my friend search that fake account, they can't find it (it seems my friends got blocked by this fake account). When I try to report the fake account, I can't submit my friends profile..

If someone is bothering them on Facebook whether it's someone they know or don't know. Even tho some people might think they can just contact them on other accounts. I think sometimes if they block someone some people might get the picture if there lucky and they might leave them alone. Some people might get the picture if they block them so it might still be worth a go

I tried several times to report fake account. But still there is

[danielreyes]

There’s a popular TikToker who has a person impersonating her on facebook. She deactivated her instagram and TikTok because the fake account kept using her pics and videos. Me and a lot of other people are reporting the fake account which has 41k followers but facebook doesn’t remove the fake account. What else can we do?

[imeshiwithanage]

I tried many times to remove fake account for me . But he has blocked me even i can’t search in facebook . Please help me

[bennewman]

If on the Facebook account it still says they live in the same twon. Someone could think it means they are still living in the same area even tho it might not all ways mean that

Ok fake accounts with a same name & identity it could be a coincidentally profile so the fb team might confuse them. But what about when they have your same profile picture? Even with a different fake name & surname?, does the facebook know that when you report the account "pretending to be me" can see that they look similar or identical?.

[BachayarKhanKhan]

Facebook is actually Facebook the Facebook management doesn't have any solution even when we report it they doesn't violate our terms.

[margueritepadovani]

i am not hearing from Facebook. Someone set up a fake account impersonating me. Facebook does not respond

[naomihall]

I can't find the fake account even though my friends are saying they've had a friend request from me. What do I do if I can't find the fake account?

[aldwinable]
