Title: What Do I Have To Do To Have Facebook Close a Fake Account?
Post by: Ehtyar on June 09, 2009, 07:40 PM

Hi all.

I'm starting to get really annoyed with a fake account someone set up of me on Facebook some while back. At first I didn't care, but then he started friending a lot of people I know IRL, and he posts insulting comments to their photos etc. which is starting to effect me IRL. I've reported him, and had a few of my friends report him, but Facebook refuses to acknowledge the complains at all (they even have the gall to state that they won't, when you submit the actual complaint).

Can anyone offer me some advice on how I might get Facebook to actually do something about this?

Thanks, Ehtyar.

If this hasn't worked I think you will have trouble finding a better way
