You can do this by the follow these steps...
1. Know why it is important to spot a fake account.
2. Don't talk to strangers.
3. Do a little detective work.
4. Read the profile carefully. Does what is being said add up or are there some really hard-to-believe statements being made?
5. Check out their profile picture.
6. Search their name online to see if it returns.
7. Check out their friends.
8. Block the request.
9. Create a "probationary period."
10. Beware interconnected faking.
11. Look for and record inconsistencies.
12. Do a double take if the person says anything weird or "out-of-character".
13. Be really wary of undying declarations of love, affection, and romance.
14. Unfriend them!
