How to Identify Fake Facebook Profiles in 2024

[@EliseGeiman]

I did that years ago. I haven't done that lately. For me, another way to tell if they are scammers impersonating someone is when that person sends you a freind request, and you look at their profile to see all their friends and posts, and if they have only a few posts, that is a red flag for me, which leads me to believe they are scammers. I do not answer any messages, and delete the the request.

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Have always checked these weird messages even "Friend" requests too. I "left click" mouse over image, click "Search Google for image" works fairly well and have found these "cut and paste" image profile pics but this site looks much better! Will indeed give it a go. Thanks.

Title was edited, that’s all.

[@Mindbreaker89x]

I get a lot of fake people adding me, refering to some kind of weird "dating" site. I tracked a user down to Ivory Coast, they were dumb enough to click a link i sent to get their IP. It's becoming a real plague...

[@scamdetector]

+Rick Maat That's right, Rick. Thanks for the comment!

[@cjhepburn7406]

What did u do with the IP? Did anyone even care that u had it?

[@jrmercer8539]

Tell me how to do that I've been scammed btomany x.s

[@HummingbirdEighty8]

This is great work on your part! Thank you SO much!!!❤

[@AFineLineA]

My laptop is down & for now dont have the funds to get it repaired. But can this be done by using a cell for what you speak of. For instance the fake Facebook lottery scammers is what im being harassed of late. I know from alot of research there is no fb lottery & such. But would like to track em down n have enough proof that i can report em & make it easier for law enforcement to find em. So again can this be done by cell

[@jordanharris903]

Ok now how do you find the real person of that profile pic that this person has taken from for scamming ? I've had it happen to me recently and I just wanna let her know that this person is using there profile pic as there own identity.

[@psmith9861]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@shellymolnar8049]

Thank you for the very informative video. I appreciate all of your work on your page.

[@MegaUdayanga]

I've tried with my own pictures which I used as profile pic but they have not received any information about that picture..

[@Jessicab-u7c]

Thanks so much,good video!

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

ok uploaded pic and 0 results...now what? still don't know this mysterious person who somehow is on my contacts

[@chanthana7694]

Same. Curious, did you ever find out?

[@sarahbondy8298]

Hi. I just used TinEye tonight to investigate if a profile was fake or not on facebook and I got this message: Why there are no matches for your image: Your image may be unique, and doesn't appear anywhere on the web. This happens with personal photographs, artwork, or other original images. If you expected to find matches, TinEye may not have crawled the website or page where your image appears. TinEye constantly crawls the web and adds tens of millions of new images to the TinEye index every month. TinEye finds exact and altered copies of images by looking at the actual pixels, but it doesn't know what the image represents (a chair, a waterfall, etc.). TinEye doesn't identify people or objects in an image. Does this mean that the profile is legit?

[@stuartnewman7068]

just means it passes that test. Could still be fake, but could also be legit.

[@devbachu7072]

One pic no pics an no information who to trust ? No one

[@thomaswilcox5265]

I had a fake profile trying to buy my page however "her" profile picture doesn't show on google or TinEye when reverse searching it. Oh well, I know it's fake anyway.

[@scamdetector]

I think in these cases they steal images from Instagram personal profiles, that don't show on the Internet.

[@paulnelson750]

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@superafricanguy]

They hit me up as soon as I log on Facebook my info must be out here somewhere. I tried to post it on FB and they said my post was bogus

[@fernandonascimento213]

You are a lifesaver. Thank you.

[@tomflyzh]

thank u very much ! its very helpfull 👍🏽👍🏽

[@angeldiazmoya9019]

very good explanations Thx

[@racecar157]

why are there so many fake accounts especially the ones from out of the country sending links or fake websites?

[@enaldohajdarimilanisti4438]

what about 0 Resutls???? i just download that pic for someone form my fb and i says no profile??? how is this possible i need a response right now please

[@clam502]

Lately I've been noticing fake accounts have more and more details and pictures in their accounts to look more believable. But can't hide everything. Because scrolling down their accounts you'll notice the time stamp on all the posts, they'll say post as added an hour ago.

[@bigfella459]

Google does pretty much the same thing

[@LG-fj2gr]

Damm to realise that the chick i thought i was talking too never existed wow

[@joshMcC524]

I have a girl that im chatting with now on messager who I believe is a scammer but when I tried this I couldn't find anything nowhere is there another way

[@bigfella459]

Try reverse searching on google

[@hermantorrelavega]

The text is not clear, cant read it. do I need a bigger screen or what. I m using Dell laptop

[@nelitadream]

Didn't work on my searches. Maybe fakes are getting better at this or maybe is quality of photos ,... or maybe one needs a straight photo of the face....

[@hexbydaylight8602]

What happens if it shows 0 does that mean it’s not a scam

[@jerzeeguy9093]

Excellent!

[@larryturner3372]

I get fake fake friends request

[@scamdetector]

Yes, tons of those around for sure.

[@BekkieSanchez]

Thank you, your video was a big help! I think what you are doing is awesome! I was contacted by a person from Facebook saying my email was picked by a computer to win money. I never did believe it, but looked it on online and found your video. By using Tineye I found she was a fraud although "they" have a Facebook account saying they work for Facebook. I am going to look into reporting this profile to Facebook.

[@scamdetector]

Glad it helped, sorry for the delay!

[@MrsSANDRALMOSLEYIII]

YEAH, I GET FRAUDULENT TEXT RE: FACE BOOK AS WELL...I DONT HAVE ONE & NEVER HAD....REPORTS GO IGNORED SO' I JUST DONT CARE ANYMORE HELL AUTHORITIES DIDNT CARE. WERE WASTING OUR TIME ON IGNORANT PEOPLE STEALING OTHERS NAMES....CLEARLY THEY CANT BE THEMSELVES.

[@stuartnewman7068]

Dates are 2016, but also 2022 in the video name. Is it all valid in 2023? I'm sure there are scams we should know about since 2016.

[@DeleteTheNWO]

What abt malware or Spyware embed in that Pic? Will that infest the pc or phone or laptop when you click on it and save it? 🤔

[@scamdetector]

Probably yes, unless your antivirus blocks it!

[@JuEdWa]

I have question... What if there is no any matches? It says 0 matches.

[@Balta211]

How about if they are in Breaking news app uk?

[@Rudy_Nuff]

Thank you 🙏.

[@davidhenry1156]

What if pictures cannot be found? I'm searching with many different pictures but none of them seem to actually exist.

[@aihatsuchannel4013]

What? In 2021? but this video is from 5 years ago and facebook it is in an outdated version???

[@ericasentire8809]

After identity-theft , who would want to give out their personal information, It's not safe, its very stupid. Have you had you're home vandalized or robbed , are you car stoled.. You could get killed,. what's a matter with you.

[@debrahhartmann1828]

Thank you What happens if you find your own picture on there how do you get them to stop

[@scamdetector]

You should definitely report the profile and ask as many of your friends as possible to do the same

[@danielstroud3691]

Like I did block them and report them it's a option with the on top right corner3 dots

[@Balta211]

How about checking their profile thru their followers?

[@glencorpoton]

i get a lot of girls wanting to be friends with me because they think i`m cute, so i go to their timelines and its says Emily updated "his" profile pic. or there`s only two or three pictures on their timelines. a dead giveaway to me.

[@dissumtattoo163]

If you can help me for some reason my Facebook kicked me out and now a letting me put a password in any suggestions thank you

[@angel727272]
