Why do people make make fake Facebook account?

[Ismail]

I don't get it why do they do if for?

[Dollofvoodoo]

Because they want to and since it's not your account, you don't need to get it.

[Kristin]

they do it because some of us are shy and when we hide then we can tell them anything that we want and they will never know that it is you!

[Ahmed]

They don't have a life.

Because they are dodgy and will probably use your pics to upload on another site. if i was you i'd block whoever is trying to add you

These are reasons why many people make fake profiles on Facebook:
1. They want to control someone; (for example, girlfriend might test you)
2. Some creates fake girl profiles for ads
3. For cyber bullying
4. For illegal reasons
5. People who afraid of government create fake profiles to berate them safely.
So what another reason can I show you?The main reasons are these

Some of them have all their friends, everyone on all, some of them just have really close friends, where they could be themselves and not be judge, perhaps even some have ones for just family, and I even know some who create fake ones to see what their boyfriend or girlfriend is doing.

I myself have a Facebook account for RPing/roleplaying. It's not really a "fake" account like the people who make an account with the name of a celebrity and actually pretend to be that celebrity. So, as I see it, there are two different types/reasons;
1) Those posers who actually pretend to be the celebrity or character, who, in my opinion, are really sad and have no life.
2) People like me who make an account of a made up or fictional character and roleplay them, making it clear to others that they are not the character/actor/they do not own the character character they roleplay. We do it because it's fun, helps to relieve some of the stress of real life and because it helps us to meet people with similar interests to our own.

I hope this answers your question sufficiently.

They made the fake account to promote their fb page, group or their websites.

Sensible people would never put their genuine name and details on site like facebook. They would be asking for trouble, as you have found out it is filled with dangerous people and frauds.
