To find out if there is fake account is to search for the original account (the only way you can tell is if you know the original account) on the Facebook search bar and view the result to check it.
The fake account is usually made by the haters of the victim or a freeloader to the popularity of the victim. The freeloaders are people wants to drive visitor to their site or to cature attention. In both cases it is damaging to the victim, the haters is posting hate contents and fraudulent contents and the freeloader is capture visitor the supposed to be searching for the victim.

Protect Your Facebook Account

A stolen Facebook account is like a stolen identity, it is difficult to recover it. I bet you don't want to spend time informing all your friend that you Facebook account was hacked and stolen. There is a lot of damage a hacked account can do, the least is it will be used to send spam message to all of your friends. Once your account is stolen, it can be use to steal another account from your friends, it can damage your reputation if the hacker start posting offensive material (violence, Porn and etc). If you have personal and private information it may not stay private and personal any more.

To protect you Facebook account


1. Avoid using it on public computers and networks.


2. If your not a public person keep your profile private. Click the "Account" tab and on the drop down click on "Privacy setting" change all of the setting where in only your friends can view.


3. Never add someone you don't know. But also be aware that sometime stalker may create a fake Facebook account just to get accepted to be your friend on Facebook. If you know you are a target of someone, besure to verify the friend request in person before accepting it.


4. If your really want to keep information private NEVER put them in Facebook.


5. Never use your credit card on Facebook, no matter how tempted  you are on any of the offers even it is to good to be true (if it is too good to be true and most probably it is not)

Protecting Yahoo Messenger Account from Hackers

Are you using your Yahoo Messenger to attend confidential conferences? Then you are probably a target from hackers who want to break in and sniff into the conference.

There are lots of reason why a hacker would be interested in hacking your yahoo messenger account. I  could only  name a few but the bottom  line is the hacker is up to something bad.

here are is a guide line to avoid accounts being hacked.

0. Have an alternate Yahoo ID, so you wont use the same ID that you are using to attend confidential conferences.

1. Avoid using your account to public computer and networks

2. In case your using a public computer or network don't forget logout.

3. Don't be fooled by rogue website. Rogue websites are copycat of the original website tricking you to login so they can capture your user name and password. The hacker would usually send you a link thru chat or email of this rogue website so to avoid this never login if the page was opened via link instead make it as a hobbit that you open a new browser window manually and type in the yahoo URL by your self.

4. Don't be fooled by someone pretending to be an administrator and asking you to verify your account. better yet if you want to verify your account just log in to Yahoo's official website http://www.yahoo.com/

5. Never open e-mails from unknown senders.

6. Never open links from spam mails, even if it came from your friend.

7. If you receive an email from your friend that looks suspicious his account might be hacked, dont open any links inside it it might lead you to a site that would hack your yahoo account.

8. Have a strong password, but be sure not to forget it. Strong password means it is more than eight character, combined with symbols and numbers i.e. d!ff!cult2r34d


Just be smart enough not typing your user name and password into anything else but the official website of Yahoo and official Yahoo Messenger.

If you suspect that your account has been hacked, immediately change password, update and run virus and malaware scan on your computer. Ask one of your techie friends to immediately assist you if you have trouble.
