Are you a facebook user ? Boy or Girl ? If a boy, its OK. But if you are a girl then you may expect a lot of friend invites soon or may already have been facing this situation I am going to discuss here. Boys don’t face so much problem with this specific scenario but they are also not full proof saved.

As the title of this article would have already let you know about the thing. Yes there is a quite number of fake girl profiles on the facebook. Who makes these profiles ? of course the first thought comes to our mind is boys or the male gender. But interestingly girls are also involve in this act.

Why these profiles are made? the purpose can be anything. To steal the photos, to get hold of the someones personal life information then mis-using it later on or it can be for the purpose of some promotional activity as well. As we have seen many girl profiles are there on facebook with friends more than 1000+, and use this much audience to promote something.

      Interestingly, I am not amazed to know that as many persons possess two accounts but with new facebook settings you can achieve more than with two seperate accounts.
