I never really liked social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, but I felt I should not knock them without trying them.  So I created a Facebook profile.  I accepted all friend invites, since I thought it would be cool to build up the numbers.  But now I likely have a bunch of these fake profiles you people are talking about as friends.  It’s better to have 50 friends that are real than 500 ‘friends’ who are fake.  My profile has about 150, but a large number of those could be fakes.  If I delete them, it will remove me from their friends list, right?  But will they also be informed, like when you are notified of people accepting friend requests?  Or will they only know if they notice I am no longer on their friends list, which is unlikely since they add so many people that losing one probably wouldn’t be noticeable?  Also, what happens if you ignore a friend request?  Does it tell the person the request was ignored?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only planned on writing a small response, but ended up writing a lot more.  So thanks to anyone who read this and I hope I was helpful.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/4712876632564081779/comments/default/8882118226044102075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/4712876632564081779/comments/default/8882118226044102075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ranithebrainy.com/2008/11/fake-facebook-profiles.html?showComment=1278927357250#c8882118226044102075' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ranithebrainy.com/2008/11/fake-facebook-profiles.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375845293774065610.post-4712876632564081779' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/posts/default/4712876632564081779' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375845293774065610.post-5423925976812982068</id><published>2010-07-12T12:29:43.486+03:00</published><updated>2010-07-12T12:29:43.486+03:00</updated><title type='text'>@30.

I can&amp;#39;t see anything besides her profile pic but strangely enough, that looks familiar to me.  Are you saying that could just be a fake profile someone made using some random girl&amp;#39;s pic?  Can someone go into further detail about what a ‘fake’ profile is?  I mean, obviously whoever that girl is, is not fake, but do you mean that someone may have just stolen her photo and made up a name for her?  People who do this are scum, and this is why I hate social networking sites, because of people like that.  This is the problem with those social networking sites.  You can&amp;#39;t trust anyone on the Internet. (Well, you can trust what I&amp;#39;m telling you now, LOL).&lt;br /&gt;So am I supposed to add that profile or something, and see if &amp;#39;it&amp;#39; accepts so I can see if it looks fake?  Because right now I can&amp;#39;t see anything besides the profile picture.  Now, on the topic of fake profiles, I have a few on my friends list that I don&amp;#39;t believe to be the real deal.  I&amp;#39;m talking about celebrity profiles.  I’ve got ‘Mickie James’, for example (not sure if you know who she), and I don’t believe her to be the real deal.  Now obviously it’s possible for celebrities to have Facebook accounts, but it’s very difficult to determine if a profile is legit, unless there’s a photo of the celebrity with a piece of paper or something with their link on it.  But it has to be something that can’t be faked.  There are several profiles out there that claim to be real celebrities, and they have ‘Verified by Facebook’ on there, but that doesn’t mean anything does it?  I mean, anyone could write that on there, right?&lt;br /&gt;I am suspicious of ‘celebrity profiles’ that insist they are the real deal.  If it really was the celebrity, then why would they care about convincing people of that?  Also, if their photo albums are full of professional looking photos that can be easily found on the Internet, then that sparks up fake, to me anyway.  I have seen some profiles with more ‘personal’ photos, like photos taken with a phone or photos with friends, something that could only the actual celebrity could have access to.  But even then, who’s to say they didn’t just take the photos from the actual celebrity’s Facebook page?&lt;br /&gt;I’m going to use a wrestling example, since I am a wrestling fan, and I’m sorry if none of you are, but what I am about to say is relevant to this discussion.   There is a Hulk Hogan profile that acts as if he is Hulk Hogan, but come on; does he even know how to use a computer? (Sorry Hulk!)  There’s also an Eric Bischoff profile, and someone asked if it was really him.  Apparently it is, because it was confirmed by, that’s right, Hulk Hogan himself!  Well, if ‘Hulk Hogan’ confirmed it on Facebook, which is of course the place where Hulk Hogan makes ALL of his announcements, then it must be true!  It saddens me to see that people actually buy into this, like those guys really have the time to spend hours a day on Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;There’s also a Nina Williams profile, which is obviously not really her since she’s a video game character.

I know it is them because their real profile is public and I can see all their info. Plus this fake person claims to know the new partner and dislike them. But yet they talk of them very favourably and often say things that I know are meant to upset me abou tmy past relationship and question my ex&amp;#39;s faithfulness and love for me. Its horrible and I don&amp;#39;t know what to do, I know I should just delete it but I am trying to find out if anything this person if doing is illegal. Because its so scary, this person needs help! I see them out on weekends and they follow me around. They have added all my friends and talk to them to try and get info on me. Im actually afraid for my life, this peson is insane!  And worse my ex partner won&amp;#39;t believe me. Seriously think before u create a fake profile, because its not funny, you could be seriously ruining someones life.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/4712876632564081779/comments/default/945954047649457968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/4712876632564081779/comments/default/945954047649457968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ranithebrainy.com/2008/11/fake-facebook-profiles.html?showComment=1265383190510#c945954047649457968' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ranithebrainy.com/2008/11/fake-facebook-profiles.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375845293774065610.post-4712876632564081779' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3375845293774065610/posts/default/4712876632564081779' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375845293774065610.post-652576443207206313</id><published>2010-01-29T00:36:26.532+02:00</published><updated>2010-01-29T00:36:26.532+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Haha i love the first one!!
