Now a Days the number of Fake Accounts are increasing rapidly at a high rate from which it is very difficult to know whether a Account is fake or real. Whenever you recieve a friend request whether it is a account of a friend or not. I have recieved about 50 friend requests last month but out of them about 20 are fake. I want to tell you about the method using which I found whether a account is Fake or not. Fake profiles on such networking sites are a big headache and no one has a control over it.
