1. Profile Picture

• This is the criteria which will help you out in
  identifying majority of the fake facebook
  profiles. 97 of the fake profile holders are
  pretending to be a female facebook user. If you
  see a display picture of any woman exposing
  herself or bikini model, just stay away from it.

  other real people's facebook put it as own 
  profile picture. Make sure that profile holder
  has good number of display pictures of a same
  person.

• Genuine facebook users prefer keeping their
  facebook profile closed for unknown users where
  as fake profiles are open for everyone to pop in.
  Some real profile do show personal information,
  but you can easily spot the fake one because you
  will find that profile having either 1 liner
  information about them or too much information
  about them.

  Bisexual which is 6 times of actual figures.

4. Friends Pages

• Fakers have six times more friends than real
  users. Fake profiles love to add as many friend
  as possible so if you see more than 1000 friends,
  have a closer look to verify. Anyone with 5000
  facebook friends, that definitely has to be
  famous personality or a fake profile. But famous
  people don't send you friend request, do they ?

  pictures, nature -scenery or actor/actress
  photos. They do tag as many friends as possible
  to get noticed that's why fake guys have 100
  times more tags compared to the real users.
