People have sounded an alarm over the proliferation of fake accounts on Facebook the past few days. That said, here's how to report an impostor account on Facebook. For accounts pretending to be you or someone else You can find out if there's an account pretending to be you by searching your name on Facebook. Do note that not all of them are fake or impostor accounts, especially if you have a commonly used name, so don't go on a reporting spree right away. The obvious impostor accounts are those that use your personal information, especially photos, or have a history of adding or messaging your friends on Facebook. Once you have determined that it is an impostor account, you can start Facebook's reporting process: Go to the profile of the fake account.
