In this tutorial i will be showing you how to identify these fraudsters impersonating others using google image search.
Log into your facebook account and go to the profile page of the suspected fake account, Download the profile picture of the person that is if you have permission to but if you don't, just download the thumbnail of the profile page.
Now open Google image search , click on the camera icon in the search box and upload the picture you downloaded from the facebook account.
Google will search for the image over the web and find relevant links to the image. If the profile is fake, you will find malicious links in the search result then you already know the person is a fraudster. I know the pro bloggers already know this so this is mainly for the newbies and other people.
Ihope this post helps you.
