fake facebook profiles? - BlueMicaWRX - 08-29-2013 01:58 AM
I had this obviously fake profile add me on facebook and I'm kind of a dick and decided let's have some fun. Here's the set up... profile says lives in North Carolina, Recent activity shows Lagos, Nigeria. I'm chatting with them and their name is of latin orgin. claims to have been born in texas, but lives in arizona. I'm sending messages using more advanced english words and even old english just to confuse them because even simple questions the response is "meaning?" I'm starting to call them out on being fraud because everything is a lie, like this sentence "I in nigeria grandma own nsurance company" apparantly her grandma owns Great Nigeria Insurance lol. give me a break. Anyways I'm just curious what harm can become of trolling these fake ass accounts? Should I anticipate a grand old African hacking? I'm gonna be honest I'm about to make things awkward between this account and I, so if anyone has any advice please share now.
Just to clear things up my account isnt fake I use it quite frequently for promotional purposes and family and friends. this account added me I knew it was fake I just wanted the troll enjoyment from calling them out on their ignorant approach.

Suspend your fake account at once.
It violates Facebook's rules and you could have all accounts deleted.
Ignore the other guy, too.
Don't get yourself in trouble.

i really really really hate fake accounts, i don't know why people make them, makes my skin crawl
don't talk to anyone that doesn't have many pics or posts, or anything
don't give them money or share personal things
