How to Detect Fake Facebook Profile

In Facebook, things are not all as it seems: there are people who are under false names, pictures, interests and even friends. You look at their profile and think “something here does not fit.” These characters seek to trick legitimate users the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising, steal personal information or engage in various scams.

We present a few simple rules to identify fake profiles on Facebook and prevent you from falling prey to this schemes. It’s easier than you think.

A fake profile of Facebook users actively seeks out others, sending friend requests, liking pages and posting messages on walls outside.

Here is something that stands out: no friends in common. What do you know about this guy? How did he/she get to you? The typical user of Facebook joins the invitation of a friend or relative, and often conduct their activities in a well-defined network. Unlike the case of people coming for other purposes.



First look at such profile os even more strange because it is a profile made ??quick and running,all mask, which knows little and says nothing about the person by which you can relate. No more pictures of profile, or if more are not related to each other and have not been labeled by other users or applications.

Main Features of Fake Facebook Profiles

1. Profile Photo of some Celebrity / cartoon ( Something Unreal)

Few can resist the temptation to accept the friendship of a good-looking person, especially if the opposite sex and generous areas of skin showing. However, this is the first thing to put on notice.Would the person you know use that picture? You are adding nothing more than junk to your friend list.

2. Single Profile Photo Album

Most fake profiles have only one or two photographs. To give a sense of verisimilitude, the most skilled rogue attempts to fill photo albums of all kinds, but, here’s the problem, the result difficult to get consistent. The images are of poor quality, without descriptions, tags or comments.

3. Too many friends on such Profile

The details of a fake profile, if they have been refilled, are mostly generic and focused on a single topic or set of issues that appeals to a specific audience, and the same applies to the pages. In summary, the fake profile corresponds to a personality extremely boring. But then how is it that has so many friends? A mystery.

4. Analyze the Friend List

Unless you travel a lot or you like learning new languages, the safest thing is you have less than 200 friends and most live less than a thousand miles from home. If the person adds you have dozens of friends scattered all over the world, thinking that it is a fake profile is reasonable.

5. Meaningless and incomplete Profile Information

It generally consists of Friends, Single, Looking for Relationship and profile is Open to all. Even Wall Posts will consist of crappy posts by applications and similar people like you who became victim. These Messages include ” Hello” ” How are you?”, “Do we know each other”, etc. OR Site Advertorials.

What to do if someone adds you do not know

Above all, do not panic! If someone adds you and do not know who he is, because you do not immediately accept the request, is now Facebook allows you to hide the requests instead of rejecting them. Another thing you can do is ask the contact what you know.

And if you prefer not to ask anything, for your name in Google and see what happens. Finally, keep in mind the golden rule of Facebook: just add acquaintances.

How to report Fake Facebook Profile

On Facebook, report and blocking a fake profile is very simple. In the sidebar of the profile in question, click on “Report / block this person” and select appropriate option. You can also block the person (well, you’ll never be able to add).

So, these were some common signals of Fake Facebook profile. As your experience grows, you will become wiser to detect them in just one look.

Use Google Plus to Market Your Brand Effectively

Are you using Google Plus to market your brand?
With the introduction of Google Plus (or Google+) to the social networking scene…
You as a blogger have another resource to use to position and brand yourself as well as generate blog traffic.

By creating a Google Plus profile, and searching for your blog website, you will be able to completely change what you see when you Google yourself.
This will also impact the way other people can search for your blog as well. Why?
Because Google’s primary business is search, your Google+ profile may be located directly below or above your blog’s URL.
Here are some of the most important features that marketers can use to their advantage when using Google’s new social media network:

1. Google Plus – Share Blog Info in Your Profile

The Google Plus profile page serves as an excellent mix between Facebook’s frivolousness and LinkedIn’s professional aura. You can add whatever pictures fit your brand, whatever information you like, and post links to whomever you choose. No one can interfere with your posts or tag you in unnecessary places like on Facebook.

2. Google Plus – Use SEO Strategies in Your Updates

Because of the searchable nature that Google brings to its social networking website, if you place strategic keywords and phrases in your status updates, you will most definitely rank higher in traditional Google searches. Unlike Facebook posts, Google Plus will be more open to searching, which is a feature the website has going well for it.

3. Google Plus – Add More Context to Your Posts

Along with the unique SEO abilities of Google Plus, you can add more content and context to your updates. Instead of trying to make your posts stand out like on Facebook and Twitter, Google+ allows you to add vivid photos, videos, and detailed sentences and paragraphs for your followers to read. Instead of spending time with a catchy one-liner, go ahead and make a solid argument.

Google Plus – Control Who Sees Your Messages

The Circles feature is a very important tool for Google Plus marketers. Instead of just lumping everyone together like on Facebook and Twitter, Google+ allows users to easily separate people into labeled categories and post exclusive content to each.
If you are connected to clients, you can post PR information about your business. If you are connected to employees, you can post internal memos. If you are connected to friends, you can post viral videos and more controversial things.

Google Plus Key Takeaway

Google Plus is still in its infancy and it is hard to actually tell what kind of impact it will have on marketing in the long term. Early adopters will need to pave the way for the future marketing endeavors of the next wave of Google+ users.
Google will also need to develop more and add new features that make their social network standout from the others.

Your Turn:

• Are you using Google Plus?
• What’s your experience so far?
• What’s your take on this new Google’s social network site?

How to secure yourself online ?

There is a surge in email account hacking these days specially of people who are publicly active on facebook or twitter or businessmen who conduct large transactions through email. Three such cases have come to my knowledge in the last few days and the modus operandi seems the same. So I thought it pertinent to write this post for public consumption.
It is crucial to understand that online identity theft is a very real and scary scenario where a hacker takes over your email and social networking accounts and attempts to then either blackmail you through use of your personal pictures or in many scenarios influence your business transactions which can lead to huge and unexpected losses. Some people take it too easy with their passwords and only wakeup when the damage has been done. So please read the following carefully and see how many loop holes you have left in your system.

Account Passwords

• Passwords must be a combination of upper and lower case alphabets and numbers for example MyBirthday1975. Keeping passwords like this leads you clear of bots which hackers use with thousands of wordstrings to hack into your accounts.
• You MUST use different passwords for different accounts, failure to do so will lead to all your accounts being hacked together ( a nightmarish situation)
• Never ever give your passwords to anyone online. Even your family members even if they message you one fine day saying they are stuck somewhere and need access to facebook, you never know if they are on the other end of the screen or someone impersonating them.

Email Accounts

• If you are in India and using social media it is CRUCIAL that you turn on two step verification on your emails. You can enable this in gmail or hotmail or facebook by going into the security settings. The service will ask for a mobile no which you can provide and hence allow the service (gmail/hotmail) to sms you when logging into the account in question from any computer. This sms will contain a security code which you can then input to access your account. This extra level of security after your password will stop any hacker from entering your account even if they have cracked your password.
• In order to use two step verified accounts on your smartphone you can go into security settings and generate application specific passwords which should be labelled correctly and then used with that device ONLY. If you are travelling with two step verification on, the security settings of your account will also let you printout a set of backup codes you can use while away from the local sms carrier.
• It is also very important to make sure that your security question is something known only to you. Make it as personal as you can so no one can guess it quickly.
• It is recommended that you have a few email addresses, for instance have an email which is used JUST AS A LOGIN for your facebook and nowhere else and another for your business and another for your personal use. This splits up your identity so that a hacker cannot get everything in one go if they even hack one account.
• Be very careful of opening spam emails or emails from unknown sources. Many of them contain scripts with trojans in them. Trojans are programs that grant back door entry to your system to a hacker as soon as you are online. These days trojans are sophisticated enough to actually allow hackers to control your system right down to the mouse cursor and will alert them when you are online as well. NEVER EVER input your information in any such emails and press submit. No organization or corporate to my knowledge sends forms for you to fill with “undisclosed recipients” written in the to box.

Antivirus

• Since you have invested money into buying a computer it is important to protect it carefully with a proper antivirus. There are some good ones which re available for free like AVG and Avira however i recommend a paid one so that you can have frequent access to updates and protection from hacks. Please note constant connectivity means that your system is also constantly available to attack and thus i recommend you shut it off (internet wise) when not doing anything.
• Once you have a solid antivirus schedule it to scan your whole computer once a week at least to eliminate any baddie viruses or trojans that get through. The software does it on auto so you dont have to worry about it. It is also important to keep the antivirus software alerts to medium so that any change any script or software is making to your system is preceded by a warning which you can either allow or check out.
• I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE NO PIRATED SOFTWARE IN YOUR SYSTEM. Pirated sofware contains all kinds of viruses as they are replicated in the thousands. Usually in environments which are not very standard friendly or having any checks or balances as to how corrupt the data has become.

Browsers

Chrome may be fast and light but it is definitely not as secure as firefox or internet explorer no matter what you think of microsoft. So when browsing be careful which tool you are using. It is also very important that if you use your browser or a browser on any other computer say in a hotel lobby to check your email you MUST LOG OUT at the end of your session. Sounds basic and silly but you would be surprised to know how often people break into email accounts in this manner, just because someone thought it ok to leave their session logged on and walked off.

Social Networks

• Its great to connect via social media but such sites are also prone to trolling for prospective hacks by one or even groups of hackers so kindly keep privacy settings on high and family pictures on these networks to a minimum. Please note as a rule never put up intimate pictures online of you your spouse or your kids. 
• Also note, just because a person puts something in their profile it does not mean that is the same person sitting behind the screen on the other end. This is the virtual world, men can be women women can be men in real and you never know where an inbox conversation will end up. So BE CAREFUL!
• People often tend to provide access to a lot of peripheral or third party apps on twitter and facebook. Once provided access with some of these apps can do a variety of things like troll your friends list change things on your timeline and so on. Please make sure who you are providing this level of access too. Also some of these third party apps have security vulnerabilities therefore they can be used as gateways into your system.

Hopefully this will help some of you secure yourselves better. Usually if you have taken care of all of the above then you are pretty safe from a hack but you never know so its best to keep on you toes in this digital age.
