How To Report Someone Impersonating You on Facebook
It’s well-known that scammers use fake accounts, fake websites, and fake stories to trick people into falling for their scams. But their ploys are even more effective if they use a real person’s profile or identity instead of fabricating one from scratch.
If you discover that a hacker has created a new account using your name, profile picture, and photos, you’re dealing with an impersonation account set up by scammers.
They can use it to run various types of scams, including contacting people on your friends list who will think that they’re communicating with you.
To get rid of the scam account, report the fake account to Facebook. Click on the three dots on the cover photo of the account’s profile, and select Report on the menu that pops up. From there, you’ll be able to flag it as an impersonation account.
To speed up the process, you can ask friends and family members to report the fake account on your behalf.
